Monument record 1700/1/3 - Roman Road - Kidnal House (Chester to Wroxeter Route 6a)
Please read our guidance about the use of Cheshire Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
The course of the Roman road can be seen as a low mound in the field to the north west of Kidnal House.
Watling Street is the name given to the Roman road that links Chester with Wroxeter, and Caerleon. It is not to be confused with the Watling Street that runs from the south east coast through London then onto Verulamium ( St Albans) and (Viroconium) Wroxeter. The route of the road can be followed from Chester to its crossing point of the Dee at Aldford and then onto Malpas where it disappears from the landscape.
