Geocache Description:


*Yes!

This rather undistinguished back alley is apparently the route of a Roman Road. The Via Devana ran from Colonia Victricensis (modern Colchester), to Ratae Corieltauvorum (Leicester) and on to Deva (modern Chester). It was of primarily military value, allowing rapid movement of troops. At or near Leicester it met the Fosse Way, another important long-distance road, the two making an X across what is now the English Midlands.

 

The cache is magnetic and about 1.9m above ground, and so should be reachable by most grown-ups, but not from a wheelchair, sorry.

 

So the legions marched past here. Sinister, dexter, sinister, dexter, sinister, dexter, sinister, dexter, sinister, dexter
