Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Rabbie's Cafe Bar, 6 Waterloo Pl, Edinburgh EH1 3EG, UK

Meet here for boarding 15 mins before the published departure time.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Jedburgh Abbey Visitor Centre Abbey Bridge End, Jedburgh TD8 6JQ Scotland

A beautiful market town that Mary Queen of Scots famously visited. Optional visit to the Abbey.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Carter Bar, Jedburgh Scotland

Continuing south we make a stop at the scenic Carter Bar on the edge of the Cheviot Hills. This crossing point between Scotland and England runs close to the ancient Roman road and has formed the border between the two countries for the past 700 years.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Steel Rigg, Henshaw, Hexham NE477AN England

Hadrian’s Wall - The wildest and most northerly frontier of the ancient Roman Empire.

We follow the road that takes us along the south side of the wall, stopping at Steel Rigg. You have time to walk beside the wall and experience the isolation that Roman foot soldiers would have experienced as they guarded their empire from the ‘barbarians’ to the north.

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Vindolanda Vindolanda Bardon Mill, Hexham NE47 7JG England

Vindolanda is one of Europe's most important Roman archaeological sites. Vindolanda means white lawns or white fields. We know that the Roman name for the fort was Vindolanda because of an altar set up by the civilians at Vindolanda to the god Vulcan which was found during drainage works in 1914. The altar is on display in the museum. The name Vindolanda has also been discovered on some of the writing tablets. (closed in January).

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Birdoswald Roman Fort, Gilsland, Brampton CA8 7DD England

Here you can still see the remains of all of the Wall's defining features. Stand in awe as the longest remaining stretch of the Wall spans as far as your eye can see, and explore the ruins of the Roman fort, a turret and milecastle.

Duration: 10 minutes
