This ancient Roman villa, dating back to the 1st century AD, features impressive ruins, including a grand hall, bathhouses, and a hypocaust heating system. The villa's mosaic floors, ornate stone carvings, and remnants of frescoed walls offer a glimpse into the lives of the wealthy Roman elite who once resided here.
The Villa is NOT open 24 hours, Mr. Google. It's an open air site, but the information panels are behind a fence and therefore impossible to read. Anyone interested should previously contact the Bristol museum to avoid disappointments.
Really informitive staff so my grandson learnt alot. A few fun activites, but this could of been improves with some simple colouring in and an extra table so there was more spaces for children to join in. A good hours experience on the whole in our local community.
It's very rear that I will stop to really look at this attraction. I don't no the the story about this place or even its meaning for been where it is. I have never been inside the shed at is next to this place. So I don't no what connection the shed has with the roman villa. And I have never seen the Roman villa open to the public. Or residents of Lawrence Weston.
I took a walk out here to take a look at the ruins. I understood that some of it was inside a building to protect it and that you need to collect the key from the council or the museum at the top of Park Street if you want to get inside. I hadn't realised that there would be a high fence all around the outside area too and that this would also be locked up. There are information boards in the outside area but unfortunately they are too far away from the fence to be readable which is a real shame.
Contrary to what it says on Google, this site is not open to visitors. The site is surrounded by wire security fencing: you can see the remains of the villa through this, but you'll need binoculars to read the information panels. There is a padlocked gate, but no info regarding opening times. In fact, the whole thing looks abandoned.
After two years, I finally got the keys to get in. Very well worth the wait. Thank you Bristol Mueums.They can be emailed
