North Leigh Roman Villa Mosaic
North Leigh Roman Villa, East End, nr North Leigh, Witney, Oxfordshire, OX29 6PZ
Following English Heritage's major conservation work at North Leigh Roman Villa in Oxfordshire, funded by a generous donation from the Michael Bishop Foundation, the mosaics can once again be visited and the site looks at its best in decades. This is the ideal year to come along to appreciate Oxfordshire's finest Roman site.
One of the larger villas of Roman Britain, the site is noted for its early 4th-century mosaic floor which is now housed under a new roof offering much improved illumination of its intricate patterns. The conservation has also enhanced the condition and appearance of the exposed villa ruins themselves.
On Saturday and Sunday 20–21 September, between 11am– 5pm, our enthusiastic team of volunteers will welcome visitors to the site. There will be family friendly activities available, Roman objects to handle and examine, and varied ways to learn more about the Romans and the history of this fascinating site.
