Binchester Roman Fort
Explore the exceptionally well-preserved remains of not just one but two Roman bath-houses.
The Commandants bath-house lies inside the fort and has one of the most intact hypocaust (underfloor) heating systems in the whole of Britain.
Wonder at the stupendously well-preserved remains of the soldier’s bath-house which lies outside the fort in the Roman village. The walls still stand to a height of more than two metres (six feet) above Roman floor level.
Find out why taking a bath in Roman times was about more than just getting clean.
Walk in the footsteps of Roman soldiers within the remains of the commanding officer's house - see if you can find the 'Beast of Binchester' among the ruins.
