Discover stories from the past as you explore the remarkable heritage of South Shields and Jarrow, two towns whose histories stretch back long before the Romans and continue to thrive in the modern North East of England. This four-hour tour takes you first to Arbeia, the Roman fort that served as the essential supply base for Hadrian’s Wall. Here, you’ll uncover the lives of the soldiers, civilians and diverse communities who lived at this distant frontier of the empire, including Middle-Eastern traders, enslaved people and native Britons. As you walk through reconstructions such as the gatehouse, barracks and commanding officer’s house, the daily realities of Roman Britain come alive, revealing a world of multicultural exchange, defence and resilience.

Your journey continues with a deep dive into the Anglo-Saxon story of the region at Jarrow Hall. Dedicated to the Venerable Bede, one of the greatest scholars of the Dark Ages, the site tells the story of a man who shaped early understanding of history, science and learning. Through immersive displays and reconstructed buildings based on archaeological discoveries from Yeavering, the historic capital of Anglo-Saxon Northumbria, you’ll gain insight into early medieval life, culture and belief. Engaging, informative and rich in detail, this tour offers an unforgettable window into the ancient past of the North East.
