Wallsend is the eastern terminus of Hadrian's Wall, where the Roman frontier met the Tyne, and has a proud shipbuilding heritage (the Mauretania was built here). The Segedunum Roman Fort museum is one of the best-preserved on the entire Wall. The town now benefits from Metro connectivity and the Silverlink retail park, and offers affordable commercial property near Newcastle.
