Situated next to a stately home whose old owner found and excavated the ruins. There are foundations of barracks, houses, commanders area and one of the best preserved bath houses. Detailed information was given for every area. There is also a museum which shows many pieces found on site. Lovely piece of Roman history and the forts along Hadrians Wall.

Really great place to visit if your interested in history, I think this is the best roman site we've been to. Was really surprised about the amount that remained and the vast collection in the museum. Really enjoyed reading the history of the land owner too and of the dig. Great views whilst on the fields. We came on the Thurs and returned on the Sunday for the falconry day as we enjoyed it so much. Nice little cafe, clean facilities and friendly staff in the well stocked gift shop.

We were very lucky to have a gorgeous, sunny day to wander slowly around the vast amount of ruins and enjoy the lovely countryside surrounding them too. The kids found it very informative and enjoyed being able to walk through the ruins and imagine what it might have been like to have been a Roman soldier staying there. The staff were nice and always on hand to answer questions. The museum area was very interesting and had a lot of amazing stonework and other objects on display. And dogs are very welcome too!

Very friendly staff, with good information about Chester's . Nice tea room. Roman fort layout was well preserved and you could imagine the parts that were not exposed, very impressive bathhouse near to where the bridge used to be. The museum with all the artifacts that were found was very interesting, a lot of intact items, gave you an idea of what life was like then .

Great heritage site. If you're able to get in a guided tour, that is absolutely fantastic (our guide Paul was incredibly knowledgeable. We also happened to be there the same day the Roman falconry display was there and that too was amazing.

*Not wheelchair friendly*, Wheelchairs are *barred* from visiting the dug up areas. Generally Nice to visit when the re-enactment were on and they are great. Made the place. Small museum was interesting to look through. But the grounds. *Not wheelchair friendly*, Wheelchairs are *barred* from visiting the dug up areas, wheel chairs and similar cannot get through the clapper gates only able bodied people. Dispicable act of discrimination from English Heritage. So no access to touch, look closely, read signs and be like other people. The grass was easy to move and push over, just not allowed to look at anything. :-(

Really friendly and helpful staff. Signposts around the fort were really informative and an all round good experience. Also worth a 15 minute walk to the remains of the bridge on the other side of the river.

Fascinating insight into life in a Roman fort. Lovely location by river. Interesting museum. Small but lovely tea room. Slightly annoying you have to pay for parking as well as entry fee.

Great ruins to visit, on a beautiful river, with the best preserved bathhouse in England. Has on site parking, gift shop, museum, toilets, small cafe. Definately worth a visit.

What a site, huge surprise and so much still uncovered, real insights into not only this fort but the many places along the wall that were preserved. Honestly replaced my favourite Roman site of Lullingstone Villa as top of my list.

Very nice place to visit. Easy outdoor preserved Roman site to get around and nice little indoor museum too. Cute coffee shop.

Great English Heritage site with ample parking. Toilet facilities, cafe and gift shop which are a big plus and very clean. The Roman site itself is fascinating with lots more to be uncovered I have no doubt, and a museum to show what has been unearthed. Great views over the river too and all in all a great day out. So good we joined English Heritage as there are loads more sites to be seen!

I enjoyed my visit to Chesters Roman Fort especially the Bath House area. The museum is very well laid out and very informative. The staff are welcoming and friendly.

Attended their Roman Soldiers simulated night attack last evening. Well worth a visit . Good commentary explaining all about soldiers and their life in the area. Great experience for all ages. You can take your own chair and the cafe and toilets are open.

Fantastic museum. Really enjoyed the walk amongst the roman ruins....and found this dog bone carved into the floor tile...what a great find!🙃

Very wet day, which is a shame as people were dressed as roamans and dispenseing good info about those living on the border. Without them, you have good roaman remains and a museum collection of stone and artifacts. If this period of history is of interest, then this is a good place to visit.

Wonderful place. All sections of the fort and wall are gated, so you don't miss any (you can enter and walk right on the site itself) with information boards and sign posts about what is what. Little museum with lots of artefacts, a gift shop I could have spent about a million pound in (English Heritage member, thank the Lord) and lovely, kind staff who really go out of their way for you. There are horses and sheep on the little walk through, which was cute, and we went on a hot day, so the raspberry lemonade from the tea room was refreshing and delicious! Pay for parking but free for memberships, and I believe discounted for related memberships (don't quote me on that). Can be an almost free day out depending what you're after.

Excellent fort site. Remarkable collection of Roman artifacts in the museum.

One of the best Roman forts on the wall, with great childrens activities during the holidays. It is very scenic. The Riverside cafe nearby is brilliant.

Visiting Chester Roman Fort includes the Clayton Museum. A very impressive collection of small items and stones found along the wall. As everyone will pick up on different aspects, it surprised me from how many different places soldiers came from (Spain, the Netherlands). You'll find religious items that these soldiers brought from their home. A short walk brings you to the fort and bath, next to the river North Tyne. Well preserved, good information boards.

A fantastic place to visit. Lots to see. Cafe on site. Great staff and very helpful at reception.

I'm sure everything positive that could be said about this place has been said thousands of times. It's one of my favourite places in the world. Right from the off, the EH staff in the gift shop are warm and welcoming. After that, it's straight to the fantastic museum, then out into the fort itself. Let your imagination run away with you (as I do, every time) and try to picture the site as it was 1800 years ago, with the sounds and smells of a bustling cavalry garrison. I will be back - again!

Great place, very informative. Lovely little museum full of amazing things excavated locally. Lots of boards around to provide you with all the information you need. A very extensive site but so tranquil & peaceful. Brilliant facilities (clean toilets & a lovely little tearoom) with friendly staff.

Great historical fort. Lots of information about the fort, the ruins, the history of the place as well as the amazing guy who discovered it all in his garden! A must for anybody and everybody interested in history, the Romans, archaeology.

Very nice Roman site. Interesting ruins and very welcoming staff. Most impressed by the small museum which was very well curated and engaging.

In my opinion this was the best of the Roman forts we encountered while hiking Hadrian's Wall. Nicely maintained site with informative tours included in the admission price. The museum here had a huge collection of amazing artifacts.

Brilliant day out to explore, if you can go on the tour I'd recommend. Excellent site some steep bits if mobility an issue but still plenty you can see if you take it steady. Well laid out with informative boards. Amazing to see the level of what has been found. The museum small but packed with interesting finds. A definite thumbs up!
