Newport Roman Villa

Welcome to Newport Roman Villa a 1,700 year old country pile! Discovered in 1926 when the owner of a nearby house sank foundations for a garage, subsequent excavations revealed extensive remains of a late Romano-British farmhouse built around 280 AD.

The Villa is open from 23 May until 31 October and is open by prior arrangement to groups and school parties in the winter period.
