Segedunum, which means ‘Strong Fort’, was built to guard the eastern end of the Wall, and housed 600 Roman soldiers. It stood for almost 300 years as a symbol of Roman rule and a bastion against barbarian attack. Today, Segedunum is once again a major site on Hadrian’s Wall. It is the most excavated fort along the Wall with surviving foundations of many buildings and part of the Wall itself. Schools can find out about Roman life on the fort and in Roman Britain through a range creative and hands on workshops and experiences suitable for KS1-4.

Don’t forget, if you are looking for help with funding the cost of your trip, you can apply for a bursary!
