Roman Ridge

Roman Ridge is a bridleway that was part of the Roman road of Ermine Street, between Scawsby and Redhouse to the north of Doncaster [1]. This footpath departs from the A638 road at The Sun junction with the A635 (or Barnsley Road) [1]. Its course runs at an angle bisecting the angle made between the two modern roads [1]. It runs to the west of the A638, roughly parallel to it, through the area of Sunnyfields and on to cross Green Lane, Scawsby on the eastern edge of Little Canada [1]. From there it runs along the western edge of the villages of Highfields and Woodlands until it reaches the Red House junction of the Great North Road [1]. From there, the Roman Ridge joins the A1 as far as Barnsdale [1].
