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. It is also a site for new life, and wildlife, as a number of animals that call Chedworth Roman Villa home often visit this feature. Look out of frogs, newts and Roman snails.
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.
