Silchester Roman Town car park
A brief description of the walk
This is a flat walk, suitable for all the family and dogs, with no stiles.
This is the real Roman tour and a step back in history. Follow the Roman walls and earth works of Calleva Atrebatum, visiting its amphitheatre and calling in to see the 12th Century Church of St. Mary’s.
