The remains of North Leigh Roman Villa are set within a peaceful landscape on the banks of the river Evenlode in Oxfordshire. This ‘courtyard villa’ is considered to be one of the larger villas of Roman Britain. It was at its most extensive in the early 4th century, when it included three bath suites, 16 mosaic floors and 11 rooms with under-floor heating.

Today, two ranges of the former courtyard arrangement of the villa are visible. The most important feature of the site is a fine mosaic tile floor dating to the early 4th century.

Open any reasonable time during daylight hours
Address: North Leigh, Witney, Oxfordshire , OX29 6PZ

There are also square terracotta pipes (tubuli) built into the walls to warm all the surfaces.
