Binchester Roman Fort
Binchester Roman Fort, Stobbs Hill Lane, Near Bishop Auckland, Bishop Auckland, County Durham, DL14 8DJ
The late Roman bath-house at the centre of the fort has recently been endowed with updated interpretation panels featuring reconstruction images to give the visitor a far better understanding of what the building looked like originally. Visitors can also see part of the exceptionally well-preserved regimental bath-building outside the fort, with its walls still standing to a height of 7 feet above Roman floor level. The site also features a new reception building offering greater space for publications, souvenirs and a range of ice-creams.
Entry is free during the Heritage Open Days period. Self-guided tour with an introduction by site staff.
