This ancient Roman amphitheatre, built around 150 AD, is one of the best-preserved in the UK. It features a large oval arena surrounded by tiered seating, with a complex of rooms and tunnels beneath. The amphitheatre could hold up to 8,000 spectators, who would gather to watch gladiatorial contests, animal hunts, and other public events. Although much of the original structure has been lost over time, the remains still evoke the grandeur and spectacle of ancient Rome.
Massive. Great to imagine this used as a theatre with shows etc. Grounds team were there with robot mower. Free to visit. Small car pRk at same place as scout hut. Or park in town and walk to it.
A bit gutting really, there are no stones of any kind to tell you that this was the Great cirencester Amphitheater, Cearleon Amphitheater is only small but gives you so much to imagine, this is just mounds of earth, which is very difficult to make out as an Amphitheater.
Not much to see but if you take in the history and stand in the middle and imagine what took place there,it can bring a shiver down your back. And it's free and near some nice woodland.
Quiet place good for walking. But the little path near the small car park is a bit dirty. Can see dog poo along the path.
Free to explore and look at. Good bit of history.
Such a glorious historical opportunity to visit the Cirencester Amphitheater! The surrounding park is wonderful too. Great place to walk dogs, walk with family and friends. Peaceful with a woodlands area to enjoy too!
