About us Who we are Our Vision Our Vision Our vision is to inspire all through the preservation of history. What We Stand For The Vindolanda Charitable Trust's vision is to excavate and preserve the Roman remains in the Trust's ownership in the central sector of the Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site. Its original objective was to administer the Vindolanda Roman Fort and its museum, but only two years after its founding in 1970 the Trust acquired the 'sister' Roman site of Magna, 15 minutes from Vindolanda and now administers the established Roman Army Museum tourist attraction next to Magna. The Trust is committed to a twinned robust scholastic and visitor programme encompassing: Research Education Public display and enjoyment of its monuments and finds from the excavations The Trust encourages people of all ages and abilities to enrich their present and future by learning from the past. Our passion at the Trust is to preserve and share the gift of history. Our sites are not conceived as tourist attractions, they are places people can come and actively participate in historical and archaeological research.

Help Us Continue Our Work The Vindolanda Trust is a totally independent charity that can only continue to excavate, conserve, research and educate with the money it raises from visitors to Vindolanda Roman and the Roman Army Museum. The income comes from entrance fees, from our friendship scheme and from our guests spending in our shops and cafes. When you have visited us, you will see that your money is going directly to a good cause.
