Folkestone Roman Villa

Built around AD 75, Folkestone Roman Villa is a Roman villa in East Wear Bay near Folkestone, Kent, England[1]. The villa sits on a cliff top overlooking the English Channel, with clear views of the French coast at Boulogne on a clear day[1]. It lies near the start of the North Downs Trackway, an ancient route across the Kentish Downs[1]. Archaeological evidence shows the area was inhabited since the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods, and the villa was constructed within a preexisting Iron Age settlement[1].
