Newport Roman Villa is a third-century farmhouse and Scheduled Ancient Monument in the care of The Isle of Wight Heritage Service.

It was discovered in 1926 when the owner of a nearby house dug foundations for a garage. Later excavations revealed extensive remains of a late Romano-British farmhouse built around 280 AD.

The well-preserved remains at Newport Roman Villa provide a fascinating insight into country life in third century Britain.

The Villa has a superb bath suite with, under floor heating and remnants of mosaic floors. Sections of the Villa have been reconstructed to illustrate the building materials used.
