Notes

These distances are measured in a straight line from Dinas Dwr to the named city (see political map). The actual distances travelled will vary according to geographical features, obstacles, terrain and weather, etc.

The movement rates used in these calculations were: A "travelling day" is 10 hours. An army will march around 30 miles per day.* A walking horse travels at 24 miles/day. A trot is 48 miles/day.** A canter is 72 miles/day.*** A gallop is 96 miles/day.*** * This is roughly equivalent to a fast walking pace. ** A trot is regarded as the "normal" gait for horseback travel. *** These rates incorporate appropriate rests needed for a horse travelling at these fast speeds.
