Description

A lovely historical location for a family walk. A pretty and contained circular walk around the walls of this ancient Roman settlement. Large archaeological site revealing Iron Age and Roman settlements, and best-preserved Roman urban area walls in England. Originally a tribal base of the Iron Age.  It was abandoned in the end of 6th or beginning of 7th century, and it were never reoccupied. This is an excellent example of a rare site in the UK. The car park is free and there are informative signs along the way. Where else can you expect to see a Roman wall without a busy crowded town? It is a pleasant walk on top of the wall, quite tall in places, with many boards explaining the history of the city.
