Bad Knees Travel

  What do you do when you are building a fancy model farm in Somerset, and you find the bones of a Roman Villa? Well when money is not an issue, you do what was done at The Newt. I have brought you here before.   A couple of very successful business people from South Africa decided to build a hotel and a model farm, and a cidery.  Their story, told here told here , is a good one for what rich people should do with their money. (Sidebar here, I am tired of people whining about what rich people spend their money on, preferring to tell the good things that other ones do.) In all of the mucking about, they came on a beautifully preserved archeological site. Trained archeologists were brought in, and a proper dig was done. When they hit a point where it appears that all could be gained was done, they covered it back over carefully and built a replica.  Above you can see a small bit of the foundations that they left uncovered and built a stunning museum over the top....
