   Step 1: Park at Fosse Meadows. There is a car park here for those who need it. The walk begins in the second car park.

   Step 3: Begin your walk heading back through the car park entrance gate and turn right onto the road .

4. Step 4: Walk along the road, which follows the course of the Roman Fosse Way.

5. Step 5: The Romans quickly established a network of roads after their initial invasion of 43 AD. Roads were essential for moving troops and supplies quickly across the country.

6. Step 6: The surveyors would find the highest ground and then plot the road directly between the high points, resulting in the long straight roads that we still see today.
