Overview

First of all, we are going to have a guided talk around the Rockbourne Roman Villa site by an archaeologist. So all very educational. The group booking means we are charged just £3.00 per head so please bring money on the day. Afterwards, we will have our coffee break there on some nice picnic tables overlooking the site. Ice creams and snacks are available.

Then we will do our walk, through fields and on tracks around Rockbourne Village. There are about 8 stiles to negotiate and there is a ridge to climb with good views where we will have our lunch stop.
