Burhs and burghal defences

The map below is supplementary material for the unit ‘The Vikings in Europe – conquest and settlement’ in the Vikings: raiders, traders and settlers course.

This map provides an on-the-ground tour of Viking presence in a modern-day town, using media we have filmed around Wallingford. These include both short videos of David Beard talking through many of the Viking elements still visible in Wallingford today and panoramas of some of the key views.

For more information on using Google Maps in this course please visit the Vikings: raiders, traders and settlers maps page.
