There is not a lot to see, but if you are interested in Roman history the villa and small museum are definitely worth a visit. Pop in after lunch at the Rose and Thistle.
Rockbourne Roman Villa is a Roman courtyard villa excavated and put on public display in the village of Rockbourne. The villa was discovered in 1942 by a local farmer and excavated over the next thirty years. The main structure was a large residence surrounding a courtyard, including luxurious Roman mosaics and bath suites. There were also farm buildings and workshops since it sat at the centre of large farming estate. Its origins lie in the Iron Age and it was occupied until the 5th century. Parts of the villa are on public display and there is a site museum, with excavated artefacts, tracing the villa's history. This site is roughly 4.4 miles and a 12 minute drive from us.
