Overview

The route follows part of the Roman Road, believed to have been built in the 1st century AD. This road was once a key military and civil link between the Roman towns of Winchester (Venta Belgarum)and Silchester (Calleva Atrebatum) It is an easy walk with just a slight incline about half way through. The path is in good condition, with no stiles. If it rains, there may be a few puddles along the way, but otherwise the walk is straightforward and enjoyable.
