About this activity

Take an atmospheric guided journey through Newcastle’s underground history in the preserved Victoria Tunnel. The tour brings local stories to life and is best suited to children who can manage a longer, darker walk; advance booking is usually required.

Session times

This activity runs as a scheduled session rather than being open all day. Session times still need to be confirmed with the organiser.

Recurring sessions can pause or change. Check with the organiser before setting off.

Roman Army Museum

Brampton, CA8 7JB

Check latest times

An immersive Roman museum on Hadrian’s Wall focused on the soldiers who lived and served on the frontier. Films, reconstructed equipment and hands-on interpretation make it a stronger family experience than a display-only museum, and it pairs naturally with a wider Hadrian’s Wall day.
