{{main|Coria (Corbridge)}}
Coria was the most northerly town in the [[Roman Empire]], lying at the junction of the [[Stanegate]] and [[Dere Street]], the two most important local [[Roman road]]s.

The first [[fort]] was established ''c.'' AD 85, although there was a slightly earlier base nearby at Beaufront Red House. By the middle of the 2nd century AD, the fort was replaced by a town with two walled military compounds, which were garrisoned until the end of the Roman occupation of the site. The best-known finds from the site include the stone [[Corbridge Lion]] and the [[Corbridge Hoard]] of Roman armour and sundry other items. In [[Rudyard Kipling]]'s ''[[Puck of Pook's Hill]]'', the town of Hunno on the Wall is probably based on Corstopitum.

The Roman Town is now managed by English Heritage on behalf of HM Government. The site has been largely excavated and features a large museum and shop. The fort is the top-rated attraction in Corbridge and is open daily between 10 and 6 in the summer and at weekends between 10 and 4 in the winter.
