gilius Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I'm going to check out Brough tomorrow (or Sunday), but not sure what, if anything, can be seen there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilius Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I'm cancelling the hotel booking now... any other good sites to visit in Yorkshire, with *visible* remains of course...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Neil Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) I'm cancelling the hotel booking now... any other good sites to visit in Yorkshire, with *visible* remains of course...? Regarding Brough Cumbria, There is the visible remains of the fort platform of VERTERIS in the corner of which there is a fine Norman castle. It is only a short hop over the border from North Yorkshire - is that the Brough you mean? Alternatively, in York itself there are numerous fragmentary remains of the legionary fortress including an almost complete 4th century tower, a bathhouse, and substantial remains of a multi-angular corner tower. Also there are several good museums, with lots of Roman material. The mediaeval walls are impressive, too.

GhostOfClayton Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 The nearest visible Roman remians (if you ignore a little bit of wall core in Caistor) are in York. You may also be interested in the little known Cawthorn Roman Camps, just north of Pickering, or (moving much further north) Aldborough Roman Town, near Boroughbridge. Coming south of the Humber (Abus Fluvius), Lincoln has an outstanding quantity of visible Roman remians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
