Pondering Jordan Hill Romano-Celtic Temple

Jordan Hill Roman Temple, Weymouth, DT3 6PL
Sunday 20th September 2026
Spend an hour or so, for a hopeful Equinox Sunset golden hour exploration and pondering the Romano-Celtic Temple remains at Jordan Hill. There is a lot more to think about here than just low ruins of an ancient sacred site. Starting just next to the road at Bowleaze Coveway, the tour will take in the ruins, a walk across the fields to consider (from above) the site of the nearby Roman Villa, the temple's history, context, archaeology, and to ask and explore the question "Why is the Temple situated HERE?" Which hopefully will be finished with a visible sunset soon after 7pm. Bring cameras, dress appropriately for the weather at an exposed coast and hilltop location. 
This event is NOT an English Heritage event but takes in a site managed by English Heritage, open 24 hours a day. Accessibility: as of June 2026, access to the site of the temple is through a narrow kissing gate, and the field is entered over a stile - therefore it is NOT accessible for wheelchairs. There is a slope from the roadside up to the temple site, and the fields are flat with undulations.
