点评:My wife and I visited the town and museum in September 2024. It was a fascinating glimpse at our ancient histories and well worth the time spent. If, like me, you are a Roman nerd then you must get up to Corbridge. I spent many minutes reading every placard and sign, listened to every story on the audio tour and walked every inch of the ruins.
You enter the museum first, where the ticket sales are and you pick up the audio tour to go outside into the remains of the town. Before that there is a vast display of artefacts in the museum to enjoy.
I'm a total nerd for anything Roman, it's a phenomenal era of our history. And there some really special pieces on display in this museum, all excavated right there on that site of the old town. It's a real glimpse into life in the antiquity on our little island.
The museum is really well laid out with lots of context tying the artefacts back to Roman life along the wall. I spent well over an hour , but could have spent more. Having only managed to do a flying visit of the British Museum Roman floor, this more than made up for that though.
Then you proceed to the outside.
One of the nice things about this ruin is you can climb all over the remains, nothing is behind a wire or plastic case. you are right there walking where the Romans walked. And the ruins do cover quite a large area. It's a good hour wandering around listening to the detailed audio tour.
Having been to Pompeii and the Colosseum, those are magnificent, far-away places from a far-away time. It's just awe-inspiring to visit that same era of history and culture right here on our brilliant little island.
There is a nice little gift shop and cafe area with some interesting objet d'art for sale, as well as the obligatory guide book.
Beware the entrance; its a tiny little path off Cycle Route 72 country lane and easily missed. Its also barely wide enough for one vehicle, so you may have to reverse up to let someone else in. Not quite treacherous, but defo a bit sketchy.
Once you are done with this, next stop should be the mithreum.
翻译:2024 年 9 月,我和妻子参观了这座城镇和博物馆。这是对我们古代历史的一次迷人一瞥,非常值得花时间。如果你和我一样,是个罗马迷,那么你必须去科布里奇。我花了很多时间阅读每一个标语牌和标志,听音频导览上的每一个故事,走遍每一寸废墟。
你先进入博物馆,那里有售票处,然后你拿起音频导览到外面参观城镇的遗迹。在此之前,博物馆里有大量的文物供你欣赏。
我对罗马的一切都十分着迷,这是我们历史上的一个非凡时代。这个博物馆里展出了一些非常特别的作品,都是在老城区的那个地方发掘出来的。这是对我们小岛上古代生活的真实一瞥。
博物馆的布局非常好,有很多背景将文物与城墙沿线的罗马生活联系起来。我花了一个多小时,但本来可以花更多时间。我只参观了大英博物馆的罗马楼层,但这已经足够了。
然后你继续向外走。
这个遗址的一大优点是你可以爬上遗迹,没有任何东西被电线或塑料盒挡住。你就在罗马人走过的地方行走。遗址确实覆盖了相当大的面积。听着详细的语音导览,四处闲逛一个小时是不错的。
去过庞贝古城和罗马斗兽场,这些都是遥远而壮丽的地方。在我们这个美丽的小岛上参观同一个时代的历史和文化,真是令人敬畏。
这里有一个漂亮的小礼品店和咖啡馆区,出售一些有趣的艺术品,还有必备的旅游指南。
小心入口;它是 72 号自行车道乡间小路旁的一条小路,很容易错过。它也仅够一辆车通过,所以你可能不得不倒车才能让别人进来。不是很危险,但确实有点危险。
一旦你完成了这个,下一站应该是 mithreum。
