Roman Villa at Chedworth

Originally occupied in the 2^nd century AD, Chedworth Roman Villa reached its peak in the 4^th century when it became an elite Romano-British dwelling. One of the largest and most complete Roman villas in the UK, the site has some impressive in-situ Roman mosaics and a collection of fascinating artifacts. Guests may also visit The Nympahaeum, a water shrine where residents would make offerings to the goddess of spring. Unknown until the mid-Victorian period when a gamekeeper accidentally discovered it, the villa is now run by the National Trust.
