Advantages: informative and interesting

Disadvantages: you wil feel cold if you stay there long.

Today is the start of Easter Holiday in the UK. Although the weather forecast said it would have rain during the day, I still decided to go out. I chose Lullingstone Roman Villa, which could provide all-weather-opportunity to trace Roman domestic life over three centuries in Britain.

The word 'Villa' usually refers to a farm. Lullingstone Roman villa is a special one because it had a luxurious bath facilities. It was begun in about AD 100, and developed to suit the tastes and beliefs of successive wealthy owners. In 1949-1961, it was excavated.

Here I saw ancient Roman's life, including their work, their food, their lifestyles, especially their faiths and how it influenced today's English people's life and English language. During the visit, I also saw some of the best evidences for the adoption of Christianity in Britain---- a religion which shook the Roman Empire and changed the world for ever.

I also played Roman board games and dressed like a Roman there. They were interesting.

The information the Villa provided is so rich. It made me feel I was back to my university study again.

Overall, this villa is very impressive and worthy to visit. It's a good place for children and adult both to learn the history that happened in this country 2000 years ago.
For more details and pictures ,please visit my blog. Thank you.

Summary: It's a good place for children and adult both to learn the history that happened in this country
