It’s a fine thing to step out on a Friday morning in December with 29 kilometres of Roman road stretching in front of you and nothing to do all day but walk it and enjoy it.  At first the usual jumble of thoughts rattle around in your head.  However,  after a while, it becomes a mindful experience and you just listen to each footstep crunching on the gravel and you start to enjoy life moment by moment.

There is not only one Roman road but a whole series of them, all well used by the local farmers.  It’s as if the Romans never left.
