World heritage site
Hadrian's Wall stretches 73 miles from Wallsend on River Tyne to the Solway Firth, and forms part of the Frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site. World Heritage Sites are inscribed by UNESCO for their special cultural or natural heritage.
In 2000, the Segedunum Roman Fort, Bath House and Museum in Wallsend opened to the public. The Museum is operated by the Tyne and Wear Museums and includes a working reconstruction of a Roman bathhouse as well as a viewing tower approximately 34 metres in height.
