Discover Chesters, the best-preserved Roman cavalry fort in Britain, dramatically set in the beautiful valley of the River Tyne. Explore the remains of the fort and imagine life for the 500 elite cavalry troops who were once based here. Follow the fun family trail, hunt for hidden ‘rubbing stones’ and discover clues among the clearly marked buildings. Between the fort and the river, explore the finest surviving example of a Roman military bath house in Britain. Learn how the site was rediscovered and preserved by John Clayton, the wealthy Victorian landowner whose passion for Roman history transformed the area. Visit the Clayton Museum, housed near his former mansion, to uncover more about the fort and its fascinating past.
