Yorkshire Coast & North York Moors Yorkshire Coast & North York Moors including the Howardian Hills Includes five OS mapped routes inside Flying high on Rosedale Bank Top Steam train in Newtondale Great days... outdoors The dramatic cliffs and sheltered coves of the rugged North Yorkshire coast define the eastern edge of the most extensive swathe of heather moorland in England, cared for since 1952 as the North York Moors National Park. Dissected by distinctive dales and with an abundance of forest and woodland, including the enchanting Dalby – the Great Yorkshire Forest, it’s an inspirational place for an active break or longer holiday enjoying an unrivalled choice of fresh air adventures. Accessible by train, the well known seaside resorts of Whitby, Scarborough and Filey are good jumping off points for both coastal and inland exploration. The ancient market town of Pickering lies at the southern end of a rather special steam railway that transports you into the heart of the North York Moors (and onward to Whitby). Kirkbymoorside, Helmsley, Osmotherley, Great Ayton, Guisborough and Saltburn all make good bases depending on your blend of activities, as do numerous fishing and other picturesque villages. Stretching out from the south western corner of the North York Moors, and not far from York, are the more gently rolling Howardian Hills. Designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in 1987, its woodlands, pastures and historic houses in parkland settings (good for rest and rainy days), offer their share of easier routes to try. Malton market town has a station from which to enter this hidden area. Our efforts to revive your body, mind and spirit don’t stop there. We’ve plenty of local produce for you to eat and drink, and a choice of welcoming places to sleep, with paths and trails on the doorstep. Whatever you do, do it safely – and have fun!

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.

G S. fFITH LARGE CHART OF THE ROMAN ROADS AND SMALL MAPS IN THE TEXT REPRINT OF THIRD EDITION LONDON SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE NEW YORK: THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1919 . • r r 11 'X/^i-r * ' Ci First Edition^ 1903 Second Edition, Revised, 1905 Tliird Edition, Revised, 1918 (.Reprint), 19 „ ,, 19 PREFACE The following attempt to describe the Roman roads of Britain originated in observations made in all parts of the country as opportunities presented themselves to me from time to time. On turning to other sources of information, the curious fact appeared that for a century past the litera- ture of the subject has been widely influenced by the spurious Itinerary attributed to Richard of Cirencester. Though that was long ago shown to be a forgery, statements derived from it, and suppositions founded upon them, are continually repeated, casting suspicion sometimes unde- served on accounts which prove to be otherwise accurate. A wide publicity, and some semblance of authority, have been given to imaginary roads and stations by the new Ordnance maps. Those who early in the last century, under the influence of the new Itinerary, traced the Roman roads, unfortunately left but scanty accounts of the remains which came under their notice, many of which have since been destroyed or covered up in the making of modern roads; and with the evidence now available few Roman roads can be traced continuously. The gaps can often be filled with reasonable certainty, but more often the precise course is doubtful, and the entire course of some roads connecting known stations of the Itinerary of Antonine can only be guessed at.
