Rockbourne Roman Villa
Rockbourne is near Fordingbridge in a picturesque and peaceful part of Hampshire close to the New Forest. The Roman villa once stood in the centre of a large farming estate, and is the largest known villa in the area. Its history spans the period from the Iron Age to the 5th century AD.
Walk around the remains of the villa, and visit the site museum which displays many of the fascinating objects found during excavations, showing what life was like for the Roman Britons who lived here over 1,600 years ago.
The villa includes bath houses, living quarters, farm buildings and workshops. You can see the best mosaics, part of the underfloor heating system and the outline of the villa's forty rooms.
