Navio Roman Fort, Roman military site in Hope Valley, England
The rectangular fort covers 2.25 acres of land, featuring stone walls, earthwork structures, and remains of a civilian settlement near Bradwell Brook.
The Romans constructed the initial timber fort in 73 AD under Governor Agricola, later rebuilding it in stone by the First Cohort of Aquitanians in 158 AD.
The fort's Latin name Navio means 'on the river', connecting to the Celtic name of River Noe, which flows through the surrounding landscape.
Visitors can reach the fort through a 4-mile walking path from Hope village, starting at the main pay and display car park.
A Roman milestone found in Buxton's Silverlands district marks exactly eleven miles from Navio, representing the oldest inscribed milestone in Derbyshire.
