Best walks from Mortimer

Mortimer Station to Bramley Station

Easy: 12km, gentle ascents. 3h30–5h30.

An essential walk! Little known but quietly wonderful. Beautiful rather than spectacular, in a humble English village pathways sort of manner. Mostly secluded.

Highlights: Remnants of Calleva Atrebatum (includes ruins ofthe original walls, and a large amphitheatre where gladiatorial combats entertained up to 7,000 people at a time) and St Mary the Virgin Church (on the site of a Roman temple).

Lunch stop: the Calleva Arms (1h30–3h in; excellent).

End-of-walk reward: the Bramley Inn.
