Standing at the easternmost point of Hadrian’s Wall and guarding the mouth of the River Tyne lies the remains of the Roman fort of Segedunum. Built in AD127, Segedunum was in fact part of an extension to Hadrian’s Wall, built some five years after the main construction project had begun. The original eastern terminus to the wall was instead four miles to the west at Pons Aelius in the centre of modern day Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

Today, Segedunum is once again a major site on Hadrian's Wall. It is the most excavated fort along the Wall with surviving foundations of many buildings and part of the Wall itself. There is a large interactive museum plus full-scale reconstructions of a bath house and a section of Wall. The 35 metre high viewing tower provides outstanding views across this World Heritage Site.

Located at the eastern end of Hadrian’s Wall - Wallsend, in North Tyneside - the Roman fort at Segedunum is the most completely excavated fort on Hadrian’s Wall. From the 35 metre Viewing Tower you can look out across the former fort to see the outlines of barrack blocks and stables, the headquarters building and the commander’s house, and take in spectacular views of the River Tyne and surrounding area. Across the road is a full scale reconstruction of a section of Hadrian’s Wall alongside an 80 metre stretch of the original wall, standing up to eight courses high in places. Troops stationed here at different times came from what is now Belgium and northern France. A reconstructed part of a barrack block in the Roman Gallery of the museum shows how cavalry and their mounts were housed. The remains of the original bath house are now on display as they were rediscovered in 2014. Segedunum has a varied programme of annual events from exhibitions to gladiator displays and Roman markets in the summer months, with the year culminating in a magnificent firework display every November which draws crowds of over 10,000 people. An 8ft weathered steel sculpture of a Roman centurion now guards the fort as of 2017, Sentius Tectonicus by John O'Rourke. For families there is an outdoor play area for children, dressing up and building activities in the galleries and lots of space to explore.
