Yorkshire
Site of the old Roman city of Isurium. The foundations of civic buildings and outer defensive walls can be seen clearly. The city of Isurium was popular with the most powerful officials of Roman York, and many of the consuls and governors of York had their villas at Aldborough. The church at Aldborough has a Roman carving of the god Mercury built into the stone of the north aisle. There is a museum on site containing artefacts found during excavation.

York,
Yorkshire
In 1930 renovations to a tavern on St Sampson's, York, revealed the remains of a caldarium, or steam bath, from the Roman city of Eboracum. The caldarium, and a neighbouring plunge bath, have been excavated, and visitors can now see the place where Roman soldiers and citizens came to find relaxation.

Wheeldale Roman Road
Pickering,
Yorkshire
Extensive remains of a road which is generally thought to be Roman, though some authorities believe it to be either Saxon or, possibly, pre-Roman. Reached by a path across a field. The road is composed of very large slabs making up a lightly rounded surface, with no evidence of gutters. It is possible that the road was built to ease troop movements to the coast. Local legend tells that it was built by the giant Wade so that his wife could take her sheep to their pasture more easily.
