About Lullingstone Roman Villa

Lullingstone Roman Villa, cared for by English Heritage, is known for its mosaics, a heated bath suite and rooms used for pagan and then Christian worship. Galleries overlook the excavated remains and display finds from the site.

The villa is partly closed for conservation work: the ruins cannot be reached while the work goes on, but the remains can be seen from a viewing window. English Heritage advises visitors with allergies to penicillin or aspergillus, or with respiratory illness, to wait until the work is finished. There is no lift to the exhibition area.
