Wall Roman Site
Free Entry
Open air site open during any reasonable daylight hours. Museum open on selected days.
Address:
Watling Street, Wall, Lichfield, Staffordshire, WS14 0AW
Before You Go
Wall in Staffordshire was an important staging post on Watling Street, the Roman military road to north Wales. The road network was crucial to the Romans' control over their empire. At staging posts like Wall weary Roman officials, soldiers and imperial messengers could find lodging for the night and change their horses.
At Wall today you can still see the remains of the Roman settlement of
Letocetum
, including an inn for travellers and the public baths, with its sequence of cold, warm and hot rooms. The museum provides a fascinating insight into life here and displays many excavated finds.
The site is managed and maintained by English Heritage, and owned by the National Trust.

Plan a Great Day Out
Wall sits on Watling Street, an ancient trackway paved and extended by the Romans, which connects Wall Roman Site to
Wroxeter Roman City
. The visitor centre at Wroxeter serves a range of refreshments, offers accessible toilets, and the site is also a great spot for a picnic.
Just 16 miles away from Wall there is also
Boscobel House and the Royal Oak
. The future King Charles II sought shelter here from Cromwell's men after being defeated at Worcester in 1651. The site provides an opportunity to get close to a significant moment in English history, as well as boasting a charming tearoom which makes it a great spot for lunch or tea.
