ストラトフィールド・モーティマーのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Fabulous coffee and cinnamon buns

Park at the church and follow the signposts

The roads surrounding the old Roman city of Calleva Atrebatum are all pleasant to ride. Some narrow and a little 'messy' but all passable on a road bike. Very little traffic, but be aware of cars on Church Lane - the road is wide enough for one car but not much more!

Have only ever looked at the wall as I go past, will stop at some point.

The amphitheatre was probably first built between about AD 50 and 70 at the eastern edge of the town. The arena now has an elliptical plan with two opposing entrances on the longer, north-south axis and two small rooms recessed into the seating bank on the east-west axis. It measures about 45 by 39 metres. [...] The banks of the seats in the amphitheatre provided space for between 4,500 and 9,000 spectators. No evidence survives of the sort of activities which took place here, but gladiatorial combat and shows using wild beasts were popular, but expensive, forms of entertainment elsewhere in the Roman empire. Blood sports using bulls, dogs and bears are possibilities at Silchester. Public executions also took place in amphitheatres. These monuments have to be distinguished from theatres, the traditional venue for dramatic entertainment. No theatre has yet been discovered at Calleva.
