Tucked away
here on the minor roads between Telford and Shrewsbury is the remains of the Roman City of
Wroxeter. Wroxeter is just a small village now, but in Roman times it was the fourth largest city in Britain. We went to have a look.
English Heritage run the site and provide an audio guide to bring the place to life. There is not a lot still standing. Here is Big Miss listening to the guide by the wall that used to separate the baths form the exercise hall.
You can see from the remains of the baths that they must have been quite impressive...
...but you need a good imagination. Not nearly as impressive as the real thing in
Bath. Personally, I was more excited by the view...
Big Miss enjoyed it, but it's not really a great place for little ones, so I don't think we will be rushing back.
