JANE'S WALK 28: Foraging in the Footsteps of the Invading Roman Army at Lexden

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: [email protected]).
Meet: 10am, Lexden Crown pub (2m, 3hrs).
ACCESSIBILITY: Mixed terrain and possibly some muddy patches on footpaths.
