Batham Gate

Batham Gate is the medieval name for a Roman road in Derbyshire, England, running approximately 16 km from Brough-on-Noe (Roman Navio) southwest to Buxton (Roman Aquae Arnemetiae). The name derives from northern English dialect where "gate" means road, thus "road to the bath town". A Roman milestone discovered in 1862 in Buxton's Silverlands district is the oldest inscribed milestone found in Derbyshire. The route from Templebrough to Navio remains disputed, as what was once thought to be part of Batham Gate at Redmires is now identified as a medieval packhorse saltway. A section east of Peak Forest is a protected Scheduled Monument.
