Walking Britain's Roman Roads

Rumpus Media for Channel 5

Walking Britain's Roman Roads is a six-part series presented by historian Dan Jones, who retraces the story of Britain's Roman past by following six of their famously straight roads. Dan meets experts and historians en-route and discovers how the Romans used their transport network first to conquer Britain and then to import their religions, crafts, trade goods and building techniques. Many Roman roads are still in use by millions of us as part of the present-day road network.

The episodes cover Watling Street (Kent Coast to Shropshire), Ermine Street (London to York), Dere Street (York to Scotland), Fosse Way (Exeter to Lincoln), Ermin Way (Silchester to Gloucester) and Stane Street (London to Chichester).
