Chedworth Villa by Hannah Smith

Chedworth Villa is a Roman villa from the 4th century AD in lovely countryside near Cirencester. The site was originally excavated during Victorian times. Our visit started with a 15 minute video explaining all about the site.

There are a number of examples of mosaic floors and bathhouses under covered areas and there are many roman walls.

There are a number of hypocausts that are visible and a museum where roman coins and other artefacts that were found at the site are on display.

Tip - take a picnic lunch because there is no cafe as the site does not have mains water.
