Sussex Greensand Way

The Sussex Greensand Way is a Roman road in southern England running east-west across the greensand ridge north of the South Downs, connecting the London to Lewes Way at Barcombe Mills with Stane Street at Hardham [1]. Constructed as a deliberately planned route rather than a Romanised Iron Age track, it features straight alignments and gentle gradients [1]. The road facilitated connections between various north-south routes and major Roman villas with their agricultural estates [1]. The exact construction date during the Roman period remains uncertain [1], and the route has largely fallen out of modern use [1].
