This website is aimed at helping a broad spectrum of users to find information which is relevant to them, whether that be to simply plan a visit to Epiacum (Whitley Castle), or to find out more about its history and archaeology. The CIO is currently in the process of assessing and updating the website content, however, the original vision for Epiacum – to make its history and archaeology accessible to all – remains unchanged.
The Roman fort at Epiacum is located near Castle Nook, only a couple of miles north-west of Alston, a small market town in the North Pennines. There is no charge to visit the site or access the walks.
