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.

Sites where planning permission has been or may be granted Addendum 2 Barnham and Eastergate Neighbourhood Plan 2014-2029 Foreword The popularity and attraction of the villages of Barnham and Eastergate are principally based on the separate characters of the two settlements, their geographical location between the South Downs and the coast, with the open landscape of fields laced with water courses and hedgerows which surround the settlements, and the presence of patches and strips of ancient woodland throughout the area. In addition each village has conservation areas and an area of special character, with a mixture of statutory and locally listed historical buildings, and those with special character. Investment in the villages, and change in future years, will only be worthwhile if these make a real difference to the lives of local people and the future of their community.

  • History Walk
    History Walk A walk through over 2000 years of local history and see some of the area’s most magnificent scenic views. This walk: • is 4.8-6.5 kilometres (3-4 miles) long • takes about 2.5-3.5 hours • has no steep hills and is easy walking • is unsuitable for a push chair • has no stiles on the shorter route and two kissing gates on the longer route • can be slippery when wet • uses OS map 197 • has a café at the start and a pub and café with toilets half way round When walking always follow the countryside code. www.countrysideaccess.gov.uk A short background to Pulborough and its history: The landscape features that have dominated the history and development of the Pulborough area are the river and floodplain, the greensand ridge that runs east-west through Pulborough village and the fertile area to the north of the greensand ridge. From left: The Old Rectory; Cattle in brooks; Lower Street This has generated the development of Pulborough Village as the heart of the area, the hamlets of Nutbourne, Mare Hill and Codmore Hill around the greensand ridge and isolated agricultural buildings to the north of the greensand ridge. The Pulborough area closer to the river Arun has been inhabited since very early times due to the river providing fish and a waterway for trade and improving the fertility of the flood plain to the south. Pulborough is a “linear village”, that is a long straggle of houses under the greensand ridge that were served by wells that drained out of the greensand at this level.

  • DOWNLAND Area Transport Plan Foreword
    DOWNLAND Area Transport Plan Foreword I am delighted to introduce Area Transport Plans. We have developed the Plans through the work of Highways & Transport Partnerships (and Area Committees) and I am grateful to them for their hard work. The overriding aim of the Area Transport Plans is to facilitate the delivery of better local transport, as quickly as possible, by focusing efforts on a small number of key transport priorities. The Area Transport Plans are set in the context of our new West Sussex Transport Plan covering the period 2006 to 2016. The development of local transport strategies in the Area Plans have taken on board all aspects of the authority's long-term vision for the area. I therefore hope that together we can strive to deliver against the local priorities outlined in the Area Transport Plans. It is not easy and we all need to play our part. Lt.
