I am literally obsessed with Roman history to the point that I think I was Roman in a past life!

But you don’t have to go to Hadrian’s wall to help your child become excited about Roman history.
- Bath at the Romans Baths in Bath*
*sadly, you are no longer allowed to go in the actual water.

Visit the Dewa Roman experience (I have taken a school group here when I was teaching in Manchester, I highly recommend it) or simply walk around this amazing city as there are ruins everywhere for you to explore, especially the amphitheatre.

- Take a walk in York
I did my first Degree in York. There are some interesting Roman Ghost stories in the Treasurers house.
- Cirencester
