End of the Roman Road

This scruffy bit of footpath between housing and an electricity station is an ancient route following the Roman road between Dorchester and Bicester. The course is still fairly intact as a bridleway coming northwards from Dorchester, apart from a short vanished section near Berinsfield, until you get to here where industrial buildings block the alignment. The route briefly surfaces again for a few hundred metres past the BMW factory but then is lost again under housing and the eastern by-pass until the southern approaches to Otmoor.
