Curiosity & Wonder...
Two emotions that we know you’ll experience joining our October 2024 CanHist Tours ...especially the day we spend at the archeological site along Hadrian’s Wall.

Fun Fact - for the last 50 years, Vindolanda has welcomed dozens of amateur archaeologists from around the world, who volunteer for two-week stints to ‘dig’ for their holidays. Meeting them, you learn the most amazing stories about life in a Roman Fort 2000 years ago!

Our CanHist Tours Tour takes you right along Hadrian’s Wall on well-travelled paths..

Fun Fact - over a distance of 80 ‘Roman’ miles, Hadrian’s Wall is actually only 73 modern miles long & most sections of the wall ‘today’ are neither visible or walkable ....we’ll focus on ‘The Best’ bits!
