Wroxeter Roman City is the site of what was once the fourth largest city in Roman Britain, with excavated remains including a gigantic public bath house complex, a market hall and forum, and a reconstructed Roman town house built for a Channel 4 series. The on-site museum displays excavated finds revealing details of everyday Roman life, from dining and shopping to medicines and bath house rituals, while an audio tour and family games help bring the site to life, and a raised platform gives views over the whole site. It suits families and history enthusiasts alike, open daily from 10am to 5pm with last entry at 4pm. The site sits in Wroxeter and Uppington, Shropshire, with Shrewsbury station 5.1 miles away and 41 bookable places to stay within 5 miles for those planning a longer visit.
