Ribchester Roman Museum
Local highlightRibchester sits on the Roman fort of Bremetennacum, and this small village museum tells its story through finds dug from beneath the surrounding streets and fields. Its prize is a replica of the Ribchester Helmet, a spectacular Roman cavalry parade helmet ploughed up here in 1796 — the original is now in the British Museum. Founded back in 1915, it’s an easy stop beside the church. Admission charge; Ramsgreave & Wilpshire station is about 5km away.
