WALK 27: Foraging in the Footsteps of the Invading Roman Army at Lexden

May 12, 2024

The Roman Claudius invasion (AD43) brought a large invading army to take over the Celtic tribal capital kingdom of Camulodunum. To achieve this, a large, relatively unknown settlement was established at today’s Lexden. Foragers were extremely important to feed the invading forces stationed there. This walk links us with a lost aspect of an important event in British history. With Mitch McLean. Booking required (email: wildceltlight@gmail.com).

Meet: 10am, Lexden Crown pub (2m, 3hrs).

ACCESSIBILITY: a mixed terrain walk with some off-road sections which may be muddy. Some medium-steep gradients (downhill from the pub start at Cymbeline Way, Lexden) and pavement camber (Church Lane, Lexden). One set of steps which may be avoidable. Please be in touch to discuss as necessary.
