General view of the site (c) English Heritage

This remote and dramatically-sited fort was founded under Hadrian's rule in the 2nd century.Well-marked remains include the headquarters building, commandant's house and bath-house. The site of the parade-ground survives beside the fort, and the road which Hardknott guarded can be traced for some distance as an earthwork.
