This ancient Roman villa, discovered in 1973, features impressive mosaic floors, hypocaust heating systems, and remnants of Roman baths. The villa's layout is characteristic of a traditional Roman dwelling, with a central courtyard surrounded by rooms. The site also includes a museum showcasing artifacts found during excavations, such as coins, jewelry, and pottery.
Visited early on Christmas morning and there was the occasional friendly dog walkers in the park area out and about but there was plenty of room around us to share the space. The ruins were perfectly fine to walk around even when the ground was wet, only a few small puddles on the site itself. It's a nice spot to stroll, take a dog-walk or explore the ruins and it was a tidy area with dog waste bins by the car park.
Free to visit with free nearby parking & a small cafe. Good information boards & very well maintained by The Parks Trust. Childrens playground not too far away too. Great for family walks or dog walks. Concrete Cows not far away along a bridle track then onward to Bradwell Abbey, excellent circular walk
Great historical site that is in Bancroft Park in Milton keynes. I went on a tour of the site and the surrounding area, with a Park's Trust guide who was very knowledgeable of the history of the roman villa. The tour was part of the Heritage days that are held every September nationwide, so if you get an opportunity to experience a tour of Bancroft Roman Villa, please you will find it a lot more rewarding if you go on a tour, but there are information boards at the site to explain the history and, what was found when archaeologists unearthed the site. Nearby is a roman site within walking distance at Blue bridge.
Great piece of history on a lovely open space. Perfect spot for walks and a playground near by for kids to enjoy.
Excellent preservation. All around is super place apart from recent flooding.
It's a really nice place in Loughton Valley Park, it was safe for little Kora to run freely and play with other dogs, and the size of the remains is impressive.
