Blog Info

I love Castles, History and Archaeology, If I could have my time again I would train to be a Archaeologist!
I am a keen artist and traveller, I seek adventure however I am also disabled and a dog owner.

So I thought it would be a neat idea to have a blog that I could share some photos of my castle hunting adventures and basic info on these sites from a disabled, dog owning artist!

Cadw Offers Disabled people and there companion Free access to there sites, If you have any problems, attitude or access on this generous offer make sure you contact Cadw so they can improve.

I have only provided basic info as there are enough sites on the net to give you this information.

Wroxeter Roman City


There is a large parking area on the same level as the ticket office, with a short walk to gain entrance

Included in the ticket office, is a nice sized english heritage shop and a interesting museum, which houses history and finds from the site. Available is a good audio guide to take round with you

There a few steps around the site following the audio guide you get a good feel for the site.

Because it's mostly outdoors this site is not really ideal on wet days.

Dogs allow but not in the shop / museum or roman house

Toilets on site
A few benches including picnic benches
Best Bit - I love the fact that Watling Street ran through this Roman City.

6 Builders plus a few local helpers, recreated a roman villa on the site

You can walk round the villa and understand building techniques
