It is worth the visit. It can be found among the houses on the street.

It's small but interesting and worth visiting if you are in the area

This fascinating place is situated on the outskirts of Newport, Isle of Wight. The remains offer a most interesting insight into Roman history and are in a remarkable state of preservation. Some of the floors still contain remnants of mosaics and there are well written labels giving interesting information about each section of the villa.

Lovely little museum built over an excavation site with mosaics inc. Roman bath. Within walking distance of Newport centre on the Isle of Wight. No parking on site. Fun little activity sheets for children to spot specific things around the site. Has an activity room where they sometimes have clay or peg puppets that children can make. 2-3 Picnic benches outside in the small garden. And toilet facilities, though I have not been in to check the cleanliness. Has a small gift shop on the way out. No cafe. Realistically maximum time needed to spend in there is about 30-45 minutes, that is if you have no children taking part in the extra activities.

Went to an activity day, had lots of fun. Check on opening dates and times. Just a short walk from the bus station. Very compact but very interesting.

Lovely Roman Villa - just 10 mins walk from Newport town centre. Friendly staff and amazing activity room for the kids (and adults!).
