What is there to do at Newport Roman Villa?
The remains were first discovered in 1926 when owners of a nearby house sank new foundations for a garage. Subsequent excavations revealed that this was a major find and it taught archaeologists more about the Roman way of life on the Isle of Wight.
They were fine designers and engineers and they created an impressive central heating system. It even has the remains of a Roman Bath which is in very good condition plus remnants of mosaic floors. The restoration team has painstakingly recreated scenes within the villa and also outside with a Roman herb garden as it would have been nearly 2,000 years ago. There is an on-site education room with family-friendly activities plus a free quiz sheet for children.
