Chedworth Roman Villa

Access roads are narrow so drivers carefully and slowly as you’ll need to use the passing places. Also, the main car park is quite small but the additional parking has a lot more space. Once there you’ll be treated to one of the best preserved Roman sites in the country, and I’ve been to a few. Large mosaic floor and significant amounts of the villa’s bath house can be seen. Well worth getting a guided tour too, as the tour guide we had was well researched and knowledgeable.

We loved our visit to National Trust – Chedworth Roman Villa! The audio tour was excellent — with separate kids’ and adults’ versions that were both fun and educational. We found it even more engaging than an on-site talk, as it really brought the history to life for all ages. The children especially enjoyed the summer play activities — they tried every single game and had an absolute blast! We learned a lot during our visit and ended up spending about 2.5 hours exploring the site. A fantastic mix of history, hands-on fun, and beautiful surroundings — highly recommended for families.

Amazing site. Quite a drive through single lane roads to get here. Loved the mosaics - so well preserved! The audio guide is excellent. Spent about 2h here with a cafe visit.

This is a great place to visit, ideally when it's not raining. It's got to be the largest villa we've visited. This includes the Brading Villa on the Isle of Wight. The audio guide is excellent and gives a great insight into the Villa and what you are looking at. We spent over 2 hours here and they have a very nice cafe should you want refreshments. Highly recommended.

This is a lovely National Trust property that showcases a Roman ruin with housed mosaic. The staff here are knowledgeable and helpful and there were some lovely activities for the children along with the opportunity to see a mixture of artefacts and replica items. There's a lovely little museum (one room) that has excerpts from the journal of the family that discovered the ruins. There's a small gift shop and cafe and a number of benches around the grounds for picnics. We were here for a couple of hours which seemed about right.

We really enjoyed our first visit to Chedworth, which is in a beautiful Cotswold setting. Only negative, it was not dog friendly, which is unusual for the National Trust, but we should have done our research anyway. Nice and quiet though and we swapped around, taking it in turns to explore. The free audio tour is great and we really enjoyed learning about the areas Roman history. Plenty of space to picnic and relax too, so all in all, a local treasure for all the family to enjoy for a few hours (except the pooch). Well done to the staff and volunteers, who you can tell, take pride in the venue.

Really beautiful and interesting place, fabulous to see the mosaics, and ruins of bathhouse etc. The museum building i found underwhelming, but tge grounds are stunning to walk around. Staff were very friendly and proactively offering snippets of information. We didn't take the free guided tour as it looked a little too heavy on the information for us personally. Will be interesting to see more of the ruins when money permits more excavation. Lovely cafe and shop, although a beautiful place for picnicing too.

Interesting learn how the elite Romans lived in a palatial villa but how things are during those days haven’t really change how the well off lives vs the common people. The art work and the Roman baths are great to learn about and see the longest mosaic tile work in UK.
