Ermine Street

The Romans were very famous for their roads some roman

roads still exist today, nearly 2000 years after they were built.

This is because Romans built their roads very well, as they needed

to move their army around the country quickly. When the Romans

first came to Britain they found no roads to use,

only poorly made tracks.

Ermine Street is a Roman road that runs from London

to York and Lincoln , through Cambridgeshire. It became

one of the most important Roman roads in the country.

Edward the Confessor regarded it as one of the four royal

roads. It is also known in parts as the

Great North Road which is now part of the A1.

The road crosses the River Ouse from Godmanchester,

which was the main settlement, to Huntingdon,

which was a small village at the time. Its path can be followed up

Huntingdon High Street. The river crossing was the main

crossing of the river during Roman times.
