Roman roads you can still walk
Stane Street, the Fosse Way, Watling Street and Ermine Street.
The Roman road network is still visible across Britain, often as modern A-roads (the A5 follows Watling Street). But sections survive as walkable footpaths: Wheeldale Moor's exposed metalling on the Wade's Causeway (North York Moors), Stane Street across the South Downs, and the long straight Roman Ridge near Pontefract. Walking them lets you stand on 2,000-year-old paving.
