Lunt Roman Fort Appeal

Coventry & Warwickshire's best kept secret, the Lunt Roman Fort at Baginton urgently needs your help. The Lunt's gyrus, or horse training ring is completely unique, the only example found in the whole Roman Empire. Now severely dilapidated, the gyrus is in urgent need of renovation. If this is not undertaken, the gyrus will have to close.

The Lunt Fort offers a unique insight into military life in Roman Britain. Parts of the fort were reconstructed about 40 years ago, including the gyrus - a cavalry training ring. Our young visitors use this to re-enact Roman battle drills and learn how the Roman Army trained horses for military action. We must urgently refurbish the floor of the gyrus to make it safer to use; unless action is taken the gyrus will have to be closed to the public.

Please help us to keep the gyrus open.
