The remains are very well conserved and easily accessible.. The viewing tower is incredible but I do wonder how much this must have cost- and how much tax payers money. The videos are instructive and worth a visit especially on a rainy day. It's a good morning out with the kids and a significant site at the eastern end of the wall. We appreciate the work that has gone into the conservation and it must be a great resource for local schools. Not much to do associated with the site and a dearth of restaurants nearby for lunch.

I went to Newcastle just to visit the Adrian Wall and theyr ancient buildings. Segedunum was a very nice surprice: very nice museum with videos, recreations and illustrations where you can learn about the history of romans in England and how romans lived in uk.
There's also a recreation of a section of the wall just outside the site and a recreation of "bagni" roman bathroom with calidarium, frigidarium and tiepidarium. Very very interesting.
From the tower of the museum you can see the entire storic site with a interesting backgroung of the river Tyne and the Newcastle's countryside.
Very polite personnen, possibility of multilanguage audioguiden at the reception (english, italian, german, spanish, french and, i think, also other language, but i don't remember).
Bathrooms and cafè are available for visitors.
I absolutly suggest it

The visitors center was fairly interesting with Roman clothes to try on for kids and plenty to see from archaeology digs. I was a little disappointed that the Roman baths were not available to use!!

This isn't the place to see the best preserved section of Hadrian's Wall or a Roman fort; the foundations of both are level to the ground. Even so, my husband and I felt that the stop was worth our time and admission ticket. The ninth floor of the viewing tower (reached by elevator, thankfully), is a good place to start, as the video program there explains the three historical periods of development at that location. Effort has gone into making this museum interesting to elementary school-aged children. It is a very interactive--giving them the chance to see, hear, touch and even try on costumes from the Roman era. The day we visited the reconstructed bath a "Roman soldier" held a class of school children spellbound with his explanations of Roman life.
