Step into Roman Britain at Villa Ventorum, a meticulous life-size recreation of a 4th-century villa unearthed on the estate of The Newt in Somerset. Explore kitchens, baths, mosaics, frescoed rooms, and even a working vineyard — all enhanced by audio tours, VR experiences, interactive displays, and children’s treasure hunts
Tip: The Newt is an elegant country estate in Somerset, famous for its cider. The estate is open only to members and hotel and restaurant guests. Dining at The Botanical Rooms or Farmyard Kitchen is a wonderful way to enjoy a glimpse of The Newt’s charm for a day, including its beautiful grounds and the Roman Villa (make sure to book your visit). It’s a bit of a trek from London, but well worth it for a special day out.
