“Segedunum Roman Fort & Museum preserves the remains of Segedunum, a Roman fort at the eastern end of Hadrian's Wall. Segedunum Roman Fort & Museum includes a 35-metre viewing tower and an interactive museum. The museum is built near the banks of the Tyne River. Segedunum formed the easternmost section of Hadrian's Wall and served as a garrison for nearly 300 years, from around 122 AD to 400 AD. The fort stood as a symbol of Roman rule and a defence against barbarian attacks. The wall was later extended further east around 127 AD. Segedunum Roman Fort & Museum showcases objects discovered during excavations, and the large observation tower offers panoramic views of the area.

2025 Update: Segedunum Roman Fort & Museum has a café, gift shop, toilets and baby changing room, two lifts, and breastfeeding room facilities for your convenience.”

SEGEDUNUM ROMAN FORT & MUSEUM REVIEWS

My original review wasn't posted for some reason. Well worth a visit to see this site, it's really interesting to see how the Romans were very well organised and much further advanced than the English and the Scots. The museum is small but really well organised and gives you a great insight into life in that area in that period. The shop is also worth visiting, many things for the kids and the coffee is the cheapest in the UK. The staff were very friendly and helpful and our dog was accepted without any reservations within the facilities excluding the museum.

A fascinating place to visit & view the site of the fort that was built here. The museum is on the ground & first floor. The few staff are very helpful and the admission fee was reduced due to on going repairs to the viewing tower. There is a lift as its on the fifth floor. The views from the huge glass windows provides panoramic vistas of the site and River Tyne both in east & west directions. Enjoy the pleasant walk around the site. The actual remains of part of the original Wall can be found opposite the main entrance to the site. It is about 100 m to the west along the main road to Newcastle.

I recommend at least to get off Wallsend metro station if passing by anyhow to make a short walk around this very interesting area. See the Hadrian’s Wall and the big Roman fort from the street for free. Read the explanation on the internet to give it more sense (search Hadrian’s Wall Wallsend). This can be done in 15-20 minutes. If you are not yet satisfying all your interest, then you could add visiting the museum and get up and close access to the ruins.

TYNEMOUTH AQUARIUM REVIEWS

This is a lovely place for all ages. We were here while they fed the 'big fish' and your kids can have a turn feeding them. The staff are very informative and there is a wide variety of animals here. A water tunnel has small sharks swimming overhead and a large seal enclosure at the end has an underwater window. There is a large cheap paid parking lot but it filled up in no time so try to be early if you're driving.

It was lovely there, there were a big variety of fish, there were also seals and monkeys! It's good to research before going there about the times of the talks and shows they do with the the seals and the fish because we didn't know and missed the seal show. Highly recommend going there as the money from the ticket goes toward the rehabilitation of seals and the upkeep of the sanctuary.

Great place to visit. The tanks inside have a wide variety of different types of fish to look at, and they'll love the seal show.

STEPHENSON STEAM RAILWAY REVIEWS

Amazing experience at The Stephenson Steam Railway Museum. A true hidden gem in North Shields that cannot be missed. The Museum is free to visit and while not massive in size does hold some fantastic British rail history! The layout is great for all levels of access (prams and wheelchairs) and has great covid secure measures in place. The little gift shop is cute with a wide range of items geared towards kids

We had a fantastic family day out as a special treat for our 3-year-old Thomas fan. He thoroughly enjoyed every minute. He was so excited to be able to go on Thomas's footplate, and the young man who sounded the whistle for him was very engaging with the children. There were plenty of activities and a great vibe to the whole day. The staff were all really helpful as was Sir Topham Hatt.

Well worth the fee for the train ride alone. The museum is good too with a few bits to look at. Reasonably priced gift shop and cafe too. Good family day out that is pretty cheap compared to other places.
