Tony Rook discovered this. A master at the nearby, excellent, Sherrardswood Prep and Senior School, he found remains in the field nearby and after archaeological work the baths were uncovered.
Fascinating place to visit and, for a small museum, there is plenty to see. The floor plan of the baths is pretty complete so it's easy to see how the baths were used and heated. Really interesting info boards and artefacts to see as well. Would definitely recommend a visit.
A fantastic site in a unique location. A rare chance to see the surving remains of a private Roman Bath House, along with finds from the site when it was excavated in the 60s & 70s. All housed in a purpose built steel chamber 9m below the A1 motorway!
For a site 9m under the motorway it has very good disabled access. Need to take your own refreshments. But a very well preserved Roman bath. Toilets are available
Visited on Sunday to see what the Romans had been up to in Welwyn.Opening hours seem to be largely weekends and bank holidays between 2 and 5pm with more availability during school holidays.Admission is 3.50 for adults and free for children.Rest assured children will not find this place dull. There was plenty to keep them active and engaged in fun history related activities outside and in. Some of which we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.There is a large open area outside the museum entrance where various displays and activities had been setup with plenty of room to sit and take in the sunshine as the children hunt for Roman coins!As you descend some 9m underground into the museum the air cools and the suspense builds.The Roman Baths are quite fascinating to see as you walk around them. The walls covered in photos and more interactive puzzles to keep you and the children busy. Watch out for the skeleton!What we didnt expect was to hear from Tony Rook in person, how he discovered and managed to preserve the site from being buried under the A1. Now in his 86th year you had to admire his passion and dedication.As we finished our exploration of the baths, heading back to the car, we were left feeling what a great little find and what a fun afternoon out.
