Website – Work in progress

Please excuse us while we are working on the website. This will be a staged process:
1) Update the site’s theme.
2) Review current content.
3) Identify and archive outdated information.
4) Update required content where necessary.

Once this is complete, our intention is to have an simpler, but more up to date website that contains information to suit both the casual visitor and those who are looking for some more detail.

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.

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!
