Walwick - Chesters Roman Fort (Cilurnum) 


About 0.5mi/1km west of Chollerford is the best preserved Roman fort, Cilurnum, designed for a cavalry unit of 500 men. The surviving remains include gates, barrack blocks, the headquarters building, stables, bath-houses and hypocausts (under-floor heating systems). In the entrance hall of Chesters House is an excellent collection of Roman material from the site. On the opposite bank of the North Tyne are considerable remains of a Roman bridge.
