Where to Photograph
Roman Britain in England
We are attempting to list all places where
photographers can photograph Roman Britain within the UK. This is the start of a
County list
to cover those places in England that will both grow over time and
hopefully we will be able to add more columns or information.
Where the names in the first column is hyperlinked
this links to a Location page with more information on this
site and over time more of these will be added, we will be delighted if some of
you would like to also produce location pages.
Codes: EH = English Heritage,
Wiki = Wikipedia, NT = National Trust
