Wroxeter (or Viriconium) was once the fourth largest city in Roman Britain. Today you can explore the excavated remains of its city centre, including the gigantic public bath house complex.
The museum on site highlights excavated site finds. They reveal fascinating details of everyday Roman life here, from dining and shopping to medicines and the rituals of the bath house.
An audio tour helps you understand how the bath complex and market worked, while fun family games draw you into Wroxeter’s Roman life.
A raised platform offers views over the whole excavated site. You can also tour a recreation of a Roman house, built for the Channel 4 series ‘Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day’.
