Access to the villa's principal rooms
Chedworth Roman Villa has some of the most impressive in-situ Roman mosaics in the country, as well as bath-house rooms and hypocaust systems. You can walk along the suspended walk-ways in our modern conservation building.
Museum and collection
The museum has fascinating artefacts which have been unearthed during on-site excavations. They give an insight into the different religions which would have been worshipped here and you can see Roman jewellery, figurines, coins and more.
Nymphaeum water shrine
Offerings to the water goddess were made at the Nymphaeum which is still fed by the ancient water that filters through the Cotswold limestone. Echoes of the past ripple across the pool.
Guided tours
Volunteer site guides bring the place to life as they share stories of the villa's history and more recent archaeological work. Tours run most days and booking is not required.
Specialist talks and tours
On some days you can enjoy a specialist talk or tour whether you're interested in the villa’s discovery, mosaic floors or on-going archaeological work. Or why not tour the Villa in the company of the 4th century owner, Censorinus?
Please see the what’s on section for dates and times.
