Nice piece of roman wall there...It may be the largest piece of Roman wall in Britain, but for the oldest Roman wall, you need to go to Colchester..You can walk around the whole wall outline, even though it's not complete.. :) We also have the only surviving Roman gateway in Britain..
@BasicModelling I have never actually been to Colchester although it is on the list of places to see!! I was born not far away as you can no doubt tell from this convincing Essex accent I have.
@alanheath It's worth a visit, but come in the summer.. The walk around the wall won't take long, and there's a few places of interest along the route.. including the little gem that is Castle Park.. with the castle itself, of'course.. :) Colchester is rich in history, it's just such a shame the council does very little to preserve and promote it.. :P

@iaingbrennan I suspect it was always useful to someone and that is why it survived!
