Visiting the Antonine Wall

There’s something for everyone along the Antonine Wall, from Roman enthusiasts, keen walkers, cyclists, families and day trippers.

You can follow the route of the Wall across the country today – from the coast into housing estates; up to high, windswept ridges and down through gentle fields and woodlands. Explore the traces of ramparts, steep ditches, and the remains of forts and bathhouses – and imagine what life was like for the Romans posted on this remote frontier, and for those who lived in its shadow.

As well as visiting Roman remains, you can ride a boat on the Falkirk Wheel or join the John Muir Way from one of many points along the wall. How about visiting one of the many museums or stopping off for something to eat at one of many scenic spots along the route.
