Canterbury Roman Museum is an underground museum built around the remains of an original Roman Town House and a Scheduled Ancient Monument, including one of the UK's only remaining in-situ Roman pavement mosaics.

It's a family-friendly way to spend a couple of hours, with same-day tickets available or advance booking to guarantee entry. Based in Canterbury, Kent, it's just 0.4 miles from Canterbury East station, and with 52 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, it makes an easy addition to a visit to the city.
