The Lunt is an excellent example of an early Roman fort and is the only reconstructed fort in Britain. Based on the archaeological evidence on site, the Lunt's imposing wooden gateway and ramparts have been reconstructed creating a glimpse into the history of Roman Britain. Our experienced staff will guide you around the site on a tour designed specifically for school groups. The children can climb the wooden ramparts to the gateway and visit the huge circular wooden gyrus. In the granary, which houses the museum, your pupils will hear about the lives of soldiers at the fort and discover more about the nature and function of Roman armour and weapons.

Our online teachers resource pack offers suggestions for pre and post visit cross curricular activities and includes images of the fort for you to use in the classroom. Combining the pack with a visit will ensure children get the most out of their experience. Please allow 2 hours for your visit which can be booked for the morning or afternoon. Full day visits, which will include the tour, can be booked on request.
