I had to resort to some major googling, but I think its North Leigh, near the Evenlode that flows into the Thames. Never hear of it! :lol:

Yes, North Leigh Roman Villa, one of the largest in southern Britain and all of two miles from my home. No Fishbourne, but worth a visit. A lot of it remains buried to protect it.

Your go.

Nope, not on the Wye, but yes there is a major river not far away.

That's the place.

An interesting spot, we've camped/bivvied there (with permission from the landowner) a couple of times now, perfect for a Hallowe'en trip.
