Dere Street was a Roman road which ran from York via Durham over the Cheviots to the head of the Firth of Forth. The line of the road is today followed in part by modern main roads such as the A1 and A68. Elsewhere as over the Cheviots, it is little more than a footpath, although along the short section seen here, it is followed by a modern tarmac road.
