Cricklade: Saxon Frontier Town

4.5 miles / 5 hrs

On the Thames Path National Trail.

A town with fortifications built by a Saxon king and wrecked by a Viking king. L&T will introduce you to both, and reconstruct the mighty walls, as you are taken back to the Dark Ages. Then along the river bank we will pass through a rich meadow with rare flora, the site of the Roman Port for Corinium (Cirencester), and forgotten canals and railways. We can finish with a visit to one of the village pubs.

Meet L&T in Cricklade public car park (southern end of the High St. near B4040 and B4553).
