Cirencester Amphitheatre added to Iconic Landscapes and Ancient Sites in South West by clinkadink on 21/11/2022

This site is owned/managed by English Heritage, so TOAL was from outside the boundary.

The Cirencester amphitheatre is one of the largest known examples surviving from the Roman occupation of Britain.

It was built just outside the walls of the town (then known as Corinium) early in the 2nd century AD.

Cirencester was second only to London in size at this period, with a population of over 10,000, and was at its finest just as Roman rule was collapsing throughout the Western Empire.

In AD 408 the last contingents of the regular Roman army left Britain. Without their pay to support the local economy and maintain order, and with no central administration to maintain communications, town life rapidly declined.

Private patrons prepared to pay for the public games could not be found. No longer used for the pursuit of pleasure, the amphitheatre became a fortress in an attempt by the town leaders to safeguard their community.

Its entrances were narrowed and a ditch dug along the southern sides, and remains of timber buildings dating from the 5th century have also been found. These efforts appear to have been in vain. In AD 577 a stronghold believed to be Cirencester is reported as falling to the advancing Saxons.

The amphitheatre then remained abandoned for several centuries.

In the Middle Ages the Abbot of Cirencester enclosed it for use as a rabbit warren. Its local name, the Bull Ring, suggests that it may once have been used for bull-baiting: a return to its original purpose.

Dinorwic Quarry (By AlbionDrones)

Huge industrial remnants spread over about 4 square miles and about 1500ft.

Park at the marked area on the map and its about a half mile walk to the edge of the quarry on good paths, then you have the quarry opening up in front of you. Main paths very accessible, although some are steep, other areas to explore will require some mobility and fitness.

Lots of drone flyers about - mainly walkers with DJI MINI's...

Also a very exposed site, high winds were evident when we visited...
