Took my 7 year old here and spent around an hour or so having a look round. What I liked about this particular site is that its right in the middle of an ordinary street of houses so really brings home the history beneath our feet! We also liked the garden and the information board about what the Romans used various plants and herbs for. My son enjoyed any gruesome fact he saw and the little trail they gave him. The staff were really helpful and friendly, small gift shop on exit. Went when it first re opened after lockdown and the additional covid measures they had in place were good too.

Lovely beach on the south coast of the Island. Wonderful sandy beach, but be aware of the rocks in the sea at high tide. Parking available at the top of cliff, but try to get here early if the weather is good as it does fill up quickly. Unfortunately toilets were also closed when we visited, luckily we had no need for them, but could see it being a problem if visiting with young children.

During a few days break as foot passengers the bus service was excellent. The Rover ticket for 48 hours enabled two of us to travel the Island all day with access to all bus routes!! Good value and reliable.
