The Town of Wallsend

Wallsend is a historic town in Tyne and Wear, renowned for its Roman heritage and proximity to the vibrant city of Newcastle. Located at the eastern end of Hadrian’s Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Wallsend is home to the fascinating Segedunum Roman Fort and Museum, where visitors can explore the remains of the Roman fort, bathhouse, and the reconstructed wall. The town’s industrial past, particularly in shipbuilding and coal mining, is also an important part of its character, with landmarks such as the old shipyards and the nearby River Tyne offering glimpses into its working-class heritage. Wallsend is also home to green spaces such as the popular Richardson Dees Park, making it a peaceful yet historically rich destination for visitors.
