Dere Street is a Roman Road which ran from York to the Firth of Forth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dere_Street In Yorkshire, it is mainly followed by the A1, in Northumberland the A68, but through most of County Durham, it is today either a minor way or just a dotted line on the map. At this point, it is just a muddy farm track with the status of public footpath. For a gallery of Geographs taken along Dere Street, see http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=910431
