Villa rustica of Spoonley Wood, Roman villa remains in Sudeley, England

The villa complex measures 55 by 61 meters and features living quarters, storage areas, and workspaces arranged around a central courtyard with three wings.

The structure evolved from a corridor villa to a winged villa before its final transformation into a courtyard villa during the Roman occupation of Britain.

The archaeological excavations in 1882 revealed multiple mosaic floors, pottery items, and a marble statue of Bacchus, indicating the residents' social standing.

Visitors can reach the site through a 2-kilometer walk from Sudeley Castle's car park to view the remaining structures and preserved mosaics.

A silver-plated bronze bowl, numerous 3rd and 4th-century coins, and iron tools discovered at the site are now displayed at Sudeley Castle.
