The roman settlement can be visited

The Roman settlement of Letocetum in Wall, Staffordshire, was once a hub in Roman Britain. As a former military outpost and posting station on Watling Street, an important Roman road, its remains today show the Roman presence in the region.

History+

Letocetum was founded around 50 AD, initially serving as a military base. Later, the site evolved into a civilian settlement, experiencing its peak during the 2nd and 3rd centuries. Around 130 AD, a bathhouse and a mansio, a building for travelers, were constructed. Parts of these structures were excavated between 1912 and 1913 and are still visible today.
