Good to Know

Corbridge Roman Town, Roman Coria, is an English Heritage site just west of the village. It began as a fort and grew into a busy town and supply base for the soldiers on Hadrian's Wall, and you can walk along its excavated main street, past granaries, temples and workshops.

Why it's on our list: it's one of the most rewarding Roman sites in the country. The museum holds the famous Corbridge Lion and the Corbridge Hoard, a chest of Roman armour and equipment, and the free audio guide brings the streets to life.

Worth knowing: English Heritage members get in free. Combine it with the riverside walk to the Roman Bridge and lunch in the village.

A Little Note From Heather & Sand

We haven't quite made it here ourselves yet, but it's on our list!

We're working our way around Northumberland, personally visiting and reviewing as many of the places featured in our Listed section as we can. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

In the meantime, we do our homework. Before adding somewhere to Heather & Sand, we research it, look at what other visitors have to say and check that it has a good reputation. If the feedback isn't encouraging, it generally doesn't make our list.

Of course, a little online research is no substitute for muddy boots, a decent coffee and seeing somewhere for ourselves. So until we've visited, we'll leave the personal review to one side.

A little about us...

Heather & Sand is our little corner of Northumberland — a collection of places, stories, walks and discoveries from a county we love.

Through our Journal, Guide and Listed pages, we hope to help you discover somewhere new, revisit an old favourite or simply enjoy a little Northumberland from wherever you happen to be.
