Cawthorn Roman Camps Walk Description

If you are a fan of visiting interesting historical sites rather than taking long and arduous journeys through the countryside, then you will definitely want to check out the Cawthorn Roman Ramps Walk. Dating back to the early portions of the Roman occupation of Britain, the camps are thought to have been used for practice rather than any true military applications. Even still, it is a fascinating site that offers a great insight into this ancient period of British history.

Setting out from the car park, you will head to the northeast and climb gently uphill through the tree cover to visit the easternmost of the encampments. From here, you will make your way to the southwest, taking in the full scope of the Roman Camps before arriving at a splendid viewpoint overlooking the North York Moors.at this pint, you will turn to the south and walk along the earthwork fortifications, taking in some final views of the camp before returning to the car park.
