The Corinium Museum in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, is an extremely well presented museum, describing Cirencester local history from the Iron Age to the nineteenth century. There are interesting displays for all periods, highlights including forensic reconstruction of the faces of Anglo Saxons who invaded following the Roman withdrawal in the fifth century. The museum specialises in the history of Cirencester's Roman period, when Cirencester, or Corinium, was England's second largest town behind Colchester. There are many local reminders of this time, in the Roman Amphitheatre, and Chedworth Roman Villa.

Directions: The museum is in the centre of Cirencester, in Park Street. The nearest long stay car park is in "The Old Station" opposite Tetbury Road. Click here for an interactive map centred over the Corinium Museum.

Access: Two wheelchairs are available, and there is a lift to the first floor. There are large print and braille guides, braille labels accompanying the interactive displays. Induction loops can be found in the shop, restaurant and lecture theatre.
