A stretch of Roman road once stood here — today it survives as earthworks in North Yorkshire. The Albion Guide maps three stretches of Roman road in the county; this is one of them. The surrounding countryside is part of the North York Moors National Park.

The nearest other stretch of Roman road is Wheeldale Roman Road, 2.7 km to the north. For arrivals by rail, Egton Station is 9.9 km to the north.

Full name: Two sections of Roman road on Pickering Moor
