Canterbury Roman Museum and some punting

Two other attractions of Canterbury for me are the Roman Museum and the chance of a river trip on a punt.

So to start with, the museum. This is clearly another small museum that has had a fair bit of money thrown at it to make it attractive to visitors. And make up for the lack of real artefacts to display. So it is big on tableaux, and to be fair they are not bad at showing how folk lived nearly 2000 years ago in a Roman town.

This artists impression of the Roman town is actually about the most impressive thing to see

The museum also incorporates the floor of a Roman house

There are some surviving mosaics, but the most striking thing is the warping of the floor from centuries of subsidence

And so to the punting.  £20 for about 45 minutes of punting and commentary. I didn't feel robbed
