Looking north from near High Lodge Farm. Roman Road is also called Sandy Lane, and is not actually Roman in origin. It was constructed in the 18th century as part of a turnpike (toll) road linking Kidderminster and Dudley. (information - K. James, BSc). It remains here as an unsurfaced wide footpath. The course of a former Roman Road between Droitwich and Greensforge is about forty metres off to the left, on a slightly different bearing.
