Monument record 1700/1/1 - Roman Road - Tilston to Malpas (Chester to Wroxeter Route 6a)

Watling Street - Tilston to Malpas section. From NW of Tilston the course of the modern road follows the Roman road for 5 miles through Tilston and Malpas. SJ 457515 to SJ 495463. 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 SE 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.
