Aldborough is the site of the 1st-century Roman city of Isurium, the capital of the Brigantes tribe. The Brigantes were the largest British tribe in Britain at the time of the Roman invasion. A Victorian arboretum occupies a part of the site, and you can see two exceptional Roman mosaics still in their original position.

On the edge of the North York Moors stand a complex of 3 Roman forts and camps, one built in an odd hexagonal shape. The Camps probably date to the 1st-century AD. A pleasant circular walk leads through woodland to the camps and wonderful viewpoints over the surrounding moorland.

In 1930 workmen were doing repairs to an old inn on St Sampson's Street in the heart of York when they unearthed an unexpected find; the ruins of a Roman steam bath, or caldarium. Further excavations revealed an adjoining plunge bath. The baths have been turned into a small underground museum, with displays of objects found on the site.
