A bit of the old Roman Road still not tarmaced. The Romans landed in Hamworthy from Poole Harbour about AD 45, and marched inland under Vespasian (future emperor) to Lake on the Stour, where they established a vexillation fortress for 4,500 veteran soldiers. Lake served as their HQ till it was moved to Exeter 5 years later.
