The Walls were originally five metres high and behind there
were earth banks. Four gates allowed access to the city; north gate, south gate, east gate
and west gate. These gates were removed at the end of the 18th century, and promenades were added
on top of the ramparts.
The Roman Walls stand tall after nearly two thousand years and have an
impressive grandeur when viewed from the outside.
From Priory Road climb the steps to the East Walls, or you can walk along the
pavement at the foot of the Walls.
