    Chedworth Roman Villa
    Yanworth, near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire GL54 3LJ
    Telephone: 01242 890256
    Prehistory  1924 
    The remains of one of the largest Roman villas in the country provide a fascinating insight into 4th-century Roman Britain. The site was discovered in 1864 on the Earl of Eldon's estate by a local gamekeeper, and subsequently excavated by his estate workers. More than a mile of walls survives, along with beautiful mosaics, two bathhouses, hypocausts, a water shrine and latrine. Visitors to the museum will discover artefacts from the villa, and an audio-visual presentation brings history to life. The ruins nestle in a wooded combe in the heart of the Cotswolds, with beautiful woodland walks. Note: access to mosaics may be restricted occasionally due to development works. Find out more about the work to transform Chedworth on our blog. Or read the latest from our archaeologists and conservators about the current excavations as they come to light
