The Roman Road
and Fleam Dyke

The Roman Road and Anglo-Saxon Fleam Dyke, which lie to the south-east of Cambridge, are archaeological sites that are also important for their wildlife. They are examples of chalk grassland, a habitat now rare in Cambridgeshire.

Large sections of both sites are Scheduled Monuments of great historical and archaeological interest, as well as Sites of Special Scientific Interest, well known for their chalk grassland flora and fauna. The Friends of the Roman Road and Fleam Dyke were set up in 2001 to protect, enhance and promote these important sites, and have devised a 40km (25 mile) waymarked walk which incorporates both monuments.
