We visited on a misty Sunday out of season, so the museum was shut. However, entrance to the site is free in reasonable daylight hours, and there are plenty of interpretation boards around the site. These are informative, but not as good as I have seen at other English Heritage sites. Probably time for a revamp! It was nice to see that the 'Friends' have provided some lovely flower borders at the entrance. In addition to the Roman ruins, a stand by the car park sells leaflets for 20p which provide a guided walk around the area. We very much enjoyed this and would have done so even more had the weather not deteriorated to heavy rain. We will come back again on a nicer day after we have done some background reading!

Small sized roman ruins of a previous mansion and bath house dating from ad50. Nowadays there are often campsites nearby now. Free entry

Well preserved ruins to explore with informative boards explaining their purpose. A great site tucked away in the countryside. Definitely worth spending half an hour here along with the nearby museum. It's all free. We just parked on the road in Wall without any issue.

Really fab site. Great to see the ruins and read the various information signs placed around it. It was lovely and peaceful, with stunning views of the countryside.The museum is small, but has a good range of artefacts and stonework to view. It's all free to enter.The 2 people manning the museum were welcoming, approachable and friendly.They were very knowledgeable and great to chat with.The site itself has steps to get into the field so isn't wheelchair accessible, but the museum is.Parking is great, plenty of spaces and no charges. There are also some picnic benches under a shaded area next to it.The site has 2 walks to do. One at 1.3 miles and the other at 2.4. There is a helpful map in the car park and plenty of signs to point you in the direction you want to go.Dogs are welcome but please pick up after them! A bowl of water is left outside the museum, which is a lovely touch.So many places are very anti dog and it was awesome to find somewhere that accepts them. I will be back with my own 2 for another visit. They will love a walk around the trails.It's a beautiful place so be responsible, tidy up after yourselves and be respectful to the villagers!

Nice place to visit and also the small church overlooking the site. There are some information shields to help you further imagine how it looked.

Small place but nice to visit, there are nice and welcoming ladies, also beautiful surroundings. I recommend to have a plan for visiting Cathedral Lichfield after this.

A nicely presented Roman site with remains of a bath house and guest house. The site is owned by the National Trust and managed by English Heritage, which is why the same place appears on both websites - that wasn't clear to me before I visited! The small museum is free but only open on some days - check before you travel. The volunteers staffing it were very friendly and informative, and helped me enjoy my visit. Strongly recommended for an insight into Roman activity in this area.

We were looking for a picnic stop on the A5 as we travelled from North Wales to South Leicestershire and this was ideal. As English Heritage members we found a free car park with picnic tables and then had a walk around the site of the roman remains of Wall. There were lots of information boards showing how life was in Roman times. We were disappointed that the museum wasn't open on that day.

Bath House & mansion. Walk round, useful boards. Full of rabbits when we dropped in early evening. Museum open 10-4? So closed.
