Magna Carta Walk (Paperback)

The Magna Carta walk is a 9 mile waymarked route that links the village of Castle Hedingham with the small historic town of Clare. Both Castle Hedingham and Clare have the remains of stunning Norman Castles with Castle Hedingham having one of the best preserved Norman Keeps in England.
In 1215 these castles were owned by rebellious barons as King John was imposing massive taxes and denying hereditary titles being passed on. Robert De Vere, who owned Hedingham Castle and Richard De Clare who owned Clare Castle were both in continuous communication, preparing their rebel cause.
The trail explores the most likely route that linked these two fortresses in the Medieval period.
