Wroxeter Roman Ruins


When we went to the Wroxeter Roman ruins it was extremely windy but dry day for late August.


We walked around the main ruins.  This was amusing as Zachary was wearing his backpack and reins which meant that he couldn't attempt to run everywhere.  However, it did cause a few mini tantrums.


We then started to have a look at the small museum which was an exercise in fruitility as this was extremely boring for Zachary.  Mike conceded defeat and we wondered over to the replica Roman villa.


Before we began exploring the villa we ate lunch.


This villa's construction was filmed as part of a Channel 4 documentary (http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/about/news/wroxeter-has-new-roman-villa/). 




This is the outside.




On the inside they painted inside with a mural of themselves.


The design isn't that far removed from many modern houses.
