A46, the old and the new
The old road on the left is now farm access and public bridleway, following the alignment of the Fosse Way. The sign indicates the approach to Margidunum junction, named after the local Roman fort and town.
Fosse Way

A Roman road that joined Exeter with Lincoln. It also passed through Leicester, Cirencester and Bath.

It was remarkably straight, and many modern roads follow its route. It had junctions with Watling Street and Ermine Street amongst others.
It was probably built before 180 AD.

A46 Road

The A46 runs 214 miles across England from Bath to Cleethorpes.
