Fleam Dyke, Cambridgeshire yesterday afternoon .......

Fleam Dyke is one of Cambridgeshire's most impressive ancient earthworks and a rare surviving example of chalk grassland environment.  It was built over a period of 150 years from late 5th to early 7th centuries AD and was probably built by the East Anglian Saxons to control the Icknield Way, the ancient routeway into East Anglia from the West.  The bank and ditch run for 5 Km between the former fen edge of Fulbourn and Balsham.  Such an interesting, peaceful and fascinating walk into history ....

We parked in Stonebridge Road, Fulbourn, and the start of Fleam Dyke is about 15 minutes walk from there....
