Very impressive and largely a hidden treasure-worth a walk along its course-it'll take a leisurely 10 minutes.

Marvel at the depth of the dyke-40-50 feet deep in places.

An important defensive structure reputedly built by the Cattavelauni tribe and still used as late as the War of the Roses-where it formed part of the line of the Yorkists in the 2nd Battle of St Albans.

Have a pint in the Ancient Briton afterwards-although a Harvester, still you can get Well's Bombadier in there!
