CHEDWORTH ROMAN VILLA

In 1864, this 32-room Roman villa with baths and mosaics dating from the ^1st century A.D. was excavated. It is set in the heart of a beautiful valley. In the basement, you can visit the baths, kitchens, salons, temple and latrines of the period. It was later transformed into a large half-timbered manor house, and the audio commentary helps to recreate the atmosphere of the time. One of the largest Roman villas in Britain, it offers a rare insight into Roman life in the country.
