Cade's Road

(1st–5th c. AD) Cade's Road is a Roman road in northeast England, named after John Cade of Durham, an 18th-century antiquarian who in 1785 proposed its existence and possible course from the Humber Estuary northwards to the River Tyne, spanning approximately 160 km (100 mi) [1]. The road's Roman name is unknown. Although evidence exists for such a road on some parts of the proposed route, there is still some doubt regarding its exact course [1].
