Stane Street, Roman road in Mole Valley, England

The stone-paved road stretches 91 kilometers from London Bridge to Chichester, following natural terrain features to minimize steep ascents through the hills.

Constructed around 70 AD during the Roman occupation of Britain, this engineering achievement facilitated military movements and trade between London and the southern coast.

The name Stane Street first appeared in medieval documents from 1270, derived from the Old English word 'stan' meaning stone, distinguishing it from unpaved paths.

Several sections of the ancient road remain visible and are now protected as scheduled monuments, with portions integrated into modern routes A3, A24, A29, and A285.

The road included mansiones at Alfoldean and Hardham, which served as official rest stops with facilities for changing horses and accommodating travelers.
