North Leigh Roman Villa, Roman villa ruins in North Leigh, England
The remains of this ancient Roman estate include two ranges of a courtyard villa and a preserved geometric mosaic floor from the early fourth century.
Built around 100 AD, the villa expanded over three centuries to encompass 60 rooms, three bath suites, and 19 mosaic floors across its extensive grounds.
The site represents the lifestyle of Romano-British elite landowners who managed agricultural estates while maintaining Roman architectural and decorative traditions.
Visitors need to walk 500 meters on an uneven farm track from the parking area to reach the villa, which opens year-round with scheduled guided tours.
This structure remains the sole Roman building in Oxfordshire that allows public access and viewing of original architectural features and decorative elements.
