North Leigh Roman Villa
Our reason for stopping in the Cotswolds was to visit the North Leigh Roman Villa. This is the site of the largest intact (more-or-less) mosaic floor in Britain. Again, a difficult place to find with our sat nav taking us around and about to find the site.

The photo above shows the site from the access track. The building in the bottom corner houses the mosaic floor. More information on this site can be found here.
