Calleva of the Atrebates - a Roman metropolis

by KennetRose - last update: Sep 10, 2002

Two delights in one.

Silchester is a commuter village lying between Reading and Basingstoke, with a very nice pub on an unusually large village green.

And Calleva Atrebatum is a sight to take you back two millennia, to a time when this was one of the most important Roman settlements in southern Britain.

Pros:"Calleva Attrebatum is impressive and Silchester is almost the ideal English village"
Cons:"A long walk from the nearest public transport"
In A Nutshell:"One small step and one giant leap back in time"

 Love that history. Do hope you return, I note it's been almost 6 months. Still looking forward to a cuppa. Cheers, Ian
