Not much to see but amazing to think of the history of it all. Good for a walk but it's a long walk around! Not much shade except at the beginning with lined trees, so if it's hot be ready for it! Car park is great and easy to find. The church is gorgeous. Amphitheatre unfortunately does not look much like one anymore but still pretty imposing and amazing to think how many people managed it managed to seat. There are many animals along the walk and lovely views. Lots of sheep! Even saw a few Al pacas I think! which was surprising and fun. Overall would recommend the visit but don't expect to see too much. Apparently the West gate is the best preserved.
Fantastic place to visit! Steeped in history and well preserved, informative and great for walkers and dog walkers and taking your younger family to teach them about the Roman's it was a great experience. The Amphitheater was incredible you could feel the history there knowing it was for entertainment but very brutal for hundreds of years!
Very pleasant walk - ampitheatre site impressive and identification of north and south gate and plenty of wall makes this a trip for the imagination - good areas of shade over the 2km if happens to be a really sunny day.
Love coming here for a walk with my little boy and dog. Very peaceful. Love the history of the Romans and being so close to home it's nice. We always play gladiators in the amphitheatre which is fun. Two minutes across the road is the Roman town of Calleva as well so it's well worth a visit. Sadly there is no ruined buildings to see unless there are excavations happening which is really good if you can get to see them. We visited a couple of years back when they were happening and they had set up a viewing platform for the public which was excellent. My only small niggle is the amphitheatre has got quite overgrown on the ring walls and around the outside of the town walls which means you have to walk along the path on top of the walls which means you don't get to see the walls themselves much. This could be dramatically improved for the public by cutting back as much as possible the bushes and brambles so you could appreciate the workmanship and height of the walls that remain. It doesn't detract from the lovely walk though. The main car park always has plenty of space and you can always park just around the corner by the lovely church if not. The church is also a nice little visit. Great place.
a magic place! you stand in the middle of the past of 1700 years old! around you there are ruins of the walls. its a shame no reconstruction of seating was done. i would like to sit there and there could be modern performance, it could earn money from visitors if any life was returned into this wonderful historical-natural theatre.
Large Roman amphitheatre in the middle of nowhere. Interesting, obviously there was the entertainment for a large settlement. What remains is the grassy circle and steep sides where the crowd sat.15 to 20 minute walk to the site from the car park
I enjoyed albeit typical British spring weather a walk around the Silchester Roman walls. Quite a short, but very interesting walk nonetheless. Depending on your pace, it takes approximately 30-35 minutes to complete, which gives you a good idea on the size of the Roman town. The walls or part of them are really what remains of this once ancient piece of history. You can also see the beautiful 12th century church, which sits to the south side of the Roman town. So, I would recommend this walk to anyone. Please ensure to keep your kids on a close eye around some of the wall embankments.
Love this place. It's beautiful. In the middle of the country side. The drive to this place was just so scenic and pretty. There is a lovely walk you can do along the Roman wall which is just the other side of the Ampitheatre. The church has a toilet although, not sure of it's always open. Don't know where the next nearest toilet would be. There is free parking next to the Ampitheatre or you can park at the church and walk up the road a bit. Such pretty houses here too!
Nice for a quick 3 mile walk round the old wall. Can get busy though. Amphitheatre is nice but again, can be full of people having a picnic so if you like it peaceful, go during the week. Definatety not suitable for pushchairs!
Good place to go for a walk. There are 3 alpacas there.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
