Undulating woodland through the Englefield Estate's Hundred Acre Piece and Holden Firs, with a holly tunnel, farmland and views to the Silchester Roman amphitheatre.

Ruins of Calleva Atrebatum: once a thriving Romano-British city that survived into the Saxon period. Now ghostly ruins. Includes an evocative full circuit of city walls, and what's left of a 7,000-capacity gladiatorial arena.
