in the footsteps of the legions ?

an unremarkable cheshire farm track at first sight--but this delamere footpath is in an area rich in history

less than a mile behind the camera are the grassy ramparts of the hillfort at eddisbury and between the small ridge at left and the forested high ground is a shallow valley known as seven lows due to the presence of seven prehistoric burial mounds , mostly now difficult to locate , with the exception of those planted with clumps of trees

and the track itself is thought to have been once upon a time on the site an early course of watling street, the roman road linking chester and manchester via nothwich
