Housesteads Roman Fort – Hadrian's Wall
About this experience
Where's the oldest toilet in Britain? It's at Housesteads Roman Fort! This antique latrine is located along Hadrian's Wall and recalls a time when the long arm of the Roman Empire reached all the way into Britain.
Join a tour of this ancient wonder and explore the crumbled barracks and hospital ruins in perfect Roman military tortoise-formation (or simply walk normally). Marvel at the ancient relics and savor some timeless countryside scenery.

Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
