Chedworth Roman Villa, Roman villa ruins in Chedworth, United Kingdom
The excavated villa contains multiple rooms with intact mosaic floors, two bath complexes, and a sophisticated hypocaust heating system throughout the structure.
Built in the 2nd century AD, this residence belonged to wealthy Romano-British inhabitants and remained occupied until the 5th century, past the end of Roman rule.
The north wing features a spring-fed pool transformed into a nymphaeum, demonstrating the integration of Roman religious practices in provincial architecture.
The National Trust maintains this archaeological site, which opens Wednesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 16:00, offering guided tours and educational exhibits.
A gamekeeper named Thomas Margetts discovered the villa in 1864 while searching for his ferret, finding mosaic fragments that led to excavation.
