ストラトフィールドセイでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

This is silly, & a bit tasteless, but I was once told (jokingly albeit) that the man hole is for the un-dead to get in & out of their graves. It part of a happy memory from when I once waked here in February 2025 with someone very dear to me that I've since lost.

Superb ancient structure. The recommendation is don't hike on top of the ancient wall.

Part of the Silchester Trail

Found inside the lovely church of St Mary’s near Silchester. Nil desperandum - my new motto for hills

Beautiful little church on the edge of the preserved Roman town of Calleva. The church dates from the 12th century and was built on an earlier Pagan site using old Roman bricks. There is a Roman column in the cemetery.

St Mary the Virgin at Silchester sits at the top of Church Lane, a quiet single track road. This can get a little messy when the weather has been wet, with mud & debris running into the road and in parts forming two 'tracks' through the mud. Just be aware. Likewise, if you do have the misfortune to meet a car (or tractor) there is little room for both. In the summer months, walkers are often encountered walking in the middle of the road seemingly oblivious to anything else. The roman wall around Calleva Atrebatum is very popular, especially as you can walk on it all the way round. That said, I find Church Lane, Wall Lane and Clappers Farm Road, all of which pretty much come together at the church, to be lovely quiet roads to ride on. I do enjoy the undulating nature of most of the lanes around here.

The Church of England parish church of St Mary the Virgin is just within the walls of the former Roman town [Calleva Atrebatum], possibly on the site of a Roman temple. The building may contain some re-used Roman materials. The building dates from the late 12th or early 13th century. [...] Cit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silchester
