Found our way to the site to be approached by the most unhelpful and angry women we have ever come across. We had our dog with us which is fair enough dogs are not allowed. We were going to take it…Full review by Katie F

Vindolanda has an extensive outdoor area when your boys can explore the excavated remains. The museum is a great place for them to learn about life nearly 2,000 years ago, and they can view the toy sword used by a young child from that time within our museum.

Hi Fran, We went on a guided tour at 10.30am on Saturday 5th May. There was another one on later, maybe at 1pm? The guided tour is included in the admission price, and meets inside the courtyard at the western entrance. The other entrance is at the museum end of the site. The tour is conducted by a volunteer, ours was great. I highly recommend a tour! Jayne

With the exception of assistance dogs, no pets are allowed within Roman Vindolanda Fort and Museum or the Roman Army Museum. We are often asked to explain our no dogs’ policy within both Roman Vindolanda Museum and Fort and the Roman Army Museum. Roman Vindolanda is classed as a scheduled ancient monument and the remains along with the grounds and buildings require careful protection to ensure that visitors can continue to enjoy for many years to come. Introducing pets to a crowded and unfamiliar environment can pose safety risks for both people and animals, and our policy is applied to protect the visitors (many of whom are children) as well as the monument. Our sites are used year round by schools and visiting families and while we appreciate that the majority of owners are responsible and their dogs are well trained, there are a few however that are not. It is known that even well trained animals placed in a busy environment surrounded by unfamiliar people and potentially other animals, their behaviour may become unpredictable. Dog excrement is a known hazard and as a live archaeological site, we also require to ensure that the archaeological material is also not contaminated and our volunteers are not put at risk.
