Really fab site. Great to see the ruins and read the various information signs placed around it. It was lovely and peaceful, with stunning views of the countryside.

The museum is small, but has a good range of artefacts and stonework to view. It's all free to enter. The 2 people manning the museum were welcoming, approachable and friendly. They were very knowledgeable and great to chat with. The site itself has steps to get into the field so isn't wheelchair accessible, but the museum is.

Parking is great, plenty of spaces and no charges. There are also some picnic benches under a shaded area next to it. The site has 2 walks to do. One at 1.3 miles and the other at 2.4. There is a helpful map in the car park and plenty of signs to point you in the direction you want to go.

Dogs are welcome but please pick up after them! A bowl of water is left outside the museum, which is a lovely touch. So many places are very anti dog and it was awesome to find somewhere that accepts them. I will be back with my own 2 for another visit. They will love a walk around the trails.

It's a beautiful place so be responsible, tidy up after yourselves and be respectful to...

Very interesting and well maintained. Free parking and situated in a stunning little village. It is well worth paying 20p for a leaflet of the walk showing all the places of interest in the village (available near the phone box in the car park). It is approx 2.5 miles in total but a shorter 1.5 mile walk is also available. There is a beautiful little picnic area right next to the car park.

Check the web site for opening times of the museum (especially if you think you might need the loo on your visit because that is where it is).

The settlement remains are very well illustrated and very interesting.

I wouldn't recommend this for people with very young children or mobility issues simply because of the terrain, lack of facilities and amount of walking involved.

We spent just under 2 hours at the site and we took our time, saw everything and also did...

Site is very well looked after; grass cut, trimmed hedges, flowers on the way there. The information points are of high quality. Also there is what seems like a dedicated car park. In fact, the whole village had a very nice vibe.

What has been preserved covers a fairly small area but there's still enough to envision what life could've been like from circa 50AD. It's similar to Vindolanda but smaller.

There's a (very) small museum which is kept open by volunteers in the village. I can't commend these people enough; they're friendly and do a great job. The museum itself contains items excavated from the site and surrounding area including pottery, arrowheads, coins etc. There's some text in the displays to give enough context to the items.

I'd allow 30-60min for the site and 15min for the museum. A...

We visited on a misty Sunday out of season, so the museum was shut. However, entrance to the site is free in reasonable daylight hours, and there are plenty of interpretation boards around the site. These are informative, but not as good as I have seen at other English Heritage sites. Probably time for a revamp! It was nice to see that the 'Friends' have provided some lovely flower borders at the entrance. In addition to the Roman ruins, a stand by the car park sells leaflets for 20p which provide a guided walk around the area. We very much enjoyed this and would have done so even more had the weather not deteriorated to heavy rain. We will come back again on a nicer day after we have done some background reading!
