Dicket Mead Roman Bath House

Dicket Mead Roman Bath-house, Welwyn is the well-preserved remains of the bath-house system of a large Roman villa, dating from the 3rd century A.D. The site was excavated in the early 1970s, before the A1(M) was built, and was uniquely preserved by enclosing it in a steel vault within the road embankment.

The bath-house is open to the public, and full details of opening times and directions to the site can be obtained by contacting Mill Green Museum, Mill Green, Hatfield, tel. Hatfield (01707) 271362. Grid reference TL 2354 1607.
