North Leigh Roman Villa Open Days
North Leigh Roman Villa, North Leigh, Witney, Oxfordshire, OX29 6PZ
During 2024 English Heritage are carrying out a major conservation project at North Leigh Roman Villa in Oxfordshire. One of the larger villas of Roman Britain, the site is noted for an early 4th-century mosaic floor which was lifted and re-laid in 1929. Works on the site include a new roof for the building that covers this outstanding mosaic floor, repairs to the cottage – a building once the residence of the site’s custodian – and conservation of the ruins themselves.
On Saturday and Sunday 7–8 September, between 11am– 5pm, our team of expert volunteers will be welcoming visitors at the site. There will be family friendly activities available and opportunity to learn more about the Romans and the history of this fascinating site.

Access to the site is via an uneven farm track, which can become muddy in wet weather and may be unsuitable for wheelchairs or mobility scooters. There are 5 steps down to reach the mosaic building - these are in good condition with a sturdy bannister.
