This museum showcases the remains of a 2nd-century Roman villa, featuring impressive mosaics, underfloor heating systems, and bathhouses. The villa's layout and architecture provide insight into the lives of Roman aristocrats, while artifacts on display include jewelry, coins, and pottery.
Perfect little museum, led by lovely ladies and the whole exhibition made with passion and heart. If you like Roman history it's a must
I give this site 5 stars, but please keep in mind what it actually is there. The ruins are totally present, but to my untrained eye they are not what I'd consider spectacular. It is impressive to stand in what used to be a roman villa. The walls are quite visible and you can imagine the shape of the rooms. As of June 2021 the site is totally accessible although Maps says it's temporarily closed. There is this container next to the site, which might have been the ticketing office, but looks worse than the archaeological site and has probably been abandoned years ago. My 2 cents is look at the pics and if you're in for a walk, this place is about 800m accross the fields from the Church on the corner of Piddington village
Fantastic exhibit content and friendly, educational atmosphere
This is a tiny museum absolutely crammed with finds from the site. Parking on the road but not a problem. There is a small admission fee. I can't recall whether there's a ramp to enter. The curators are lovely local people with lots of info to share about the villa and the finds. There are toilets at the museum. The villa site is quite a walk away in a field, but it was a lovely walk. A magical place to explore freely. I'll be going again.
A small museum containing the displays of the finds from the Roman Villa excavations that have taken place over the last 30 years.
Lovely interesting informative friendly people gave us a warm welcome to this museum
