Welcome to The Lunt

The Lunt is a historical site located in the heart of Staffordshire, England. It is a reconstructed Roman fort that was originally built in the 1st century AD. The fort was used to protect the Roman Empire's northern border from the invading tribes of Scotland. The Lunt is a unique place that offers visitors a glimpse into the life of a Roman soldier. The fort has been reconstructed using traditional Roman techniques, and visitors can explore the barracks, the granary, and the commandant's house.

The Lunt is an important historical site that provides a fascinating insight into the Roman Empire's military might. The fort was strategically located on the Fosse Way, a major Roman road that connected the south of England to the north. The fort was built to house a garrison of around 500 soldiers, and it was equipped with all the necessary facilities to support them. The Lunt is a unique place that offers visitors a chance to experience what life was like for a Roman soldier stationed on the northern frontier.

The Lunt is a popular tourist destination that attracts visitors from all over the world. The fort is open to the public, and visitors can explore the site at their leisure. The Lunt also hosts a range of events throughout the year, including reenactments, workshops, and educational activities. The fort is a unique place that offers visitors a chance to step back in time and experience the sights, sounds, and smells of a Roman military camp.

Local Dog Walks

Oily Gough Local Nature Reserve
Oily Goughs Is A Site That We Have Done Lots Of Work On Recently. After A Series Of Amphibian Surveys (To Make Sure There Were No Protected Species On Site), We Have Reprofiled The Pond At The Southern End Of The Site. It Had Been Very Overgrown With Reeds, And Was Almost Completely Dried Up This Year. After Relocating Some Fish And Other Animals, We Scraped A New Profile For The Pond, Which Should Refill Over The Winter And Look Fabulous By Summer 2012! There Are Two Other Pools Ate Oily Goughs (Which Was Named After A Man Named Gough Who Used To Sell Scrap Oil On The Site Many Years Ago!).

There Is No Parking For This Park, So You Have To Park On The Opposite Side Of The Road Next To The School. There Is A Wooden Nature Reserve Sign That Is Visible From The Kerb Side So You Will Not Miss It. I Would Recommend Dogs On Leads From The Car To The Big Field Which They Are Free To Run Wild.
