Locus Classicus

Dorset, Wiltshire

43 km / 27 miles
This is an engrossing historical walk using some of the finest stretches of Roman and ancient Drove roads in the area. Commencing at Bradbury Rings you will follow the Roman road that was measured and laid by the town planners of the day using flags, poles and beacons as a help with construction. To vary this route so that it is not all 'straight' your journey will take you through Sixpenny Handley and Broad Chalke. Enjoy this ideal passage.
