Review of Hadrians Wall Trust

I must admit that I didn't know about this exhibit...

I must admit that I didn't know about this exhibition until we got there. As my son and I walked in the area we found the fort's ruins. No sign has been there telling me that I have to buy tickets to entry so we went in.
The place was empty, no visitors or staff have been around. Have read few of the signs that tells you about the fort's history. Very brief, but I guess they weren't made for historians.
My son found entertaining walking in one of the ditches when a lady came around and asked me if we have tickets. I told her that we don't but willing to buy. She said we can't buy tickets because they are closed (then why she asked if we have tickets? Obviously she knew that we don't), and told us to leave the site immediately. So we followed her to a gate (why don't they close the other end with a gate, too??) and left.
My advice is to either put some signs up or put a gate, as mentioned before, on the other end of the site to avoid "trespassers".
Why only one star? It's due to the way how the lady acted toward us. I know that she is volunteering time off her own to do this job which I appreciate but to treat people showing a little bit more respect would have helped. She didn't say anything that would have been disrespectful, it's the way she said that made me feel the way I feel now.
