What visitors say
Amazing Roman ruins, small site but well preserved mosaics and informative museum with friendly staff. Great scenery and peaceful location with benches for picnics.

We visited today and weren't sure what to expect, but had a fabulous time I should say that if you are looking for large impressive ruins then this isn't the place. The location is well kept and has some mosaics, bath house under-floor heating and other ground level ruins. Much of the site is laid out with gravel to show the positions of walls that were previously excavated before being recovered to protect them. There are plenty of information boards but the visit was really made great by the fabulous staff/volunteers who did a guided talk and were really happy to help, talk about the site etc. There were also artifacts in the small museum and activities for the kids. Well worth the £12 for a family of 4. The kids were genuinely interested in it (and in fact asked to go in the 1st place). It was also a lovely spot for a picnic. Recommended.

The site is huge, but unfortunately most of it is under the grass to preserve it. Still it has some beautiful mosaics and a unique hypocaust. Lots of objects found at the site displayed including a beautiful Byzantine bucket which is well worth seeing. Ticket lasts for a year.

Really enjoyed my visit to this peaceful site, where your imagination can run riot browsing over the ancient remains and outlines of Roman life in Britain. Interesting artefacts in the museum, plenty of car parking space.
