‘Wheeldale Road’ or 'Wade’s Causeway’, North Yorkshire Moors, 2.2.20.

Initially thought to be a Roman Road travelling east to west, this view has been revised and it is likely that this track predates the Romans. A medieval stone slabbed surface makes it difficult to date but the shape, nature and camber of the route suggest Roman use. It is thought that this was a major route to the coast throughout the Iron Age.
