A walk on a Roman road. – AncientBlogger

Chichester (Noviomagus Reginorum) was an important Roman site, initially a fort settled shortly after the Roman invasion of Britain. It was linked to London by a 57 mile road and part of its course survives today.

It later came to be known as Stane Street, though the part I walked goes by the name of Mill Road and can be found in Boxgrove as part of a longer walk to the Halnaker Windmill.
