‘Reading The Landscape’ Masterclass – August 2022
Many thanks to all who attended the recent Masterclass held at Epiacum Roman Fort. We were blessed with possibly the hottest weather we’ve ever experienced on a Masterclass and as a result, the waterproofs remained in the rucksack at all times!
We hope you all enjoyed the experience and had both a fun and informative weekend. We’d also like to thank all the ‘Second Nervians’ for all their hard work in organising and making the event work so well.
Hopefully you’ll all be able to start putting into practice what you learned when you’re next out walking!

Building the new Ancient Routes Trail
Epiacum Heritage has been busy over the winter months improving access and information to share our knowledge of the site.
Working with our farm partner we look forward to completing our latest project called Ancient Routes in readiness for the 2022 visitor season. The project received funding from the Farming in Protected Landscapes programme, funded by DEFRA and managed by the North Pennines AONB Partnership. If you wish to read the press release associated with the funding, please click here.
Second Nervian volunteers preparing the ground for the new kissing gates
That means an exciting new trail, with added kissing gates and finger posts, starting at the South Tynedale Trail and following old tracks and pathways to take in the site of a Romano British settlement and the Roman Fort to finish at Nook Farm Shop and Café.
The infrastructure in place for the new Ancient Routes Trail
We have sensational new reconstruction images of life in Roman times and fantastic drone images of the Roman Fort which will be used to create new interpretation panels around the site and on the screen within the café.
This funding will also allow us to install automatic visitor counters to help us understand how many people visit the scheduled ancient monument.
Exciting times! We look forward to seeing you!
