Verulamium Museum sits on the site of one of Britain's largest Roman cities, and inside you'll find recreated Roman rooms and large-scale mosaics among its ancient treasures. It's a good pick for families, with hands-on discovery areas, free activity sheets and weekend dressing-up clothes for children, plus regular weekend gallery talks exploring Roman life. The museum is wheelchair-accessible throughout, with a lift to the accessible loo, and there's a 150-space car park right outside. Afterwards, step into Verulamium Park to see the free Roman Hypocaust, plus the Roman Theatre and city walls further on. Based in St Albans, it's close to St Albans Abbey station (0.8 miles), and with 22 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it's easy to combine with an overnight stay nearby.
