Aquila Heights offers a peaceful haven at the end of a busy day.

Aquila - Latin for eagle. The aquila was the sacred emblem of the Roman Legions and the insignia, which they carried into battle - the eagle on the pole.

Aquila Heights offers extensive views toward the ramparts of Maiden Castle, the iron-age hill-fort that was the tribal capital of the Durotriges until the Roman invasion of Britain in AD 43.

It is thought that the future Roman emperor, Vespasian and his Augusta Legion would have set up base camp by the river on the site of modern Dorchester from which to launch his assault across the valley that Aquila Heights now overlooks.
