The Romans loved to grow herbs which they put into their meals to make them taste better. They brought many herbs to Britain! Have a go at planting your own Roman herbs to take away - how well will yours grow?

Take part in our Roman Herbs trail, where you will be able to explore our museum and outside areas to find examples of different Roman herbs. Visit our Herb garden to see examples of these herbs growing.
