Site of Piercebridge Roman FortTeesdale was a key point on the Roman route across the Pennines south of Hadrian's Wall.  The A66 follows the original Roman Road.  This tour takes in the fort and river crossing at Piercebridge which served as a major supply router to the North for the Roman campaigns. Explore the ruins of the garrison and see the remains of the Roman bridge abutments by the river.
