Durdham Down - BS9
Image: © David Hallam-Jones Taken: 31 Jul 2012
A section of Downleaze (road name) crossing Durdham Down. This is part of a circular route that passes near to the Sea Walls view point - overlooking the Avon Gorge - but that is heading here towards its junction with Stoke Road. Individuals interested in 'things ancients' often seek out some grass covered ridges that can be found intersecting this part of Durdham Down from left to right. These are the buried remains of a Roman road that ran between Portus Abonae (Sea Mills) and Aqua Sulis (Bath). This ancient road (c.50 AD) passes to the north of Bristol, a city that did not exist then.
