There is an extensive network of Roman roads in Sussex, some lying under modern roads, others existing as faint tracks. The most well known of all Sussex roads is Stane Street, linking London to Chichester, and much of this is still visible and in use today.

A good section to visit is in Eartham Wood, about 5 km north of Fontwell (OS ref: SU 945110), where it is used as a bridle path. A deliberately preserved section of road showing some iron slag metalling can be found at Holtye, just south of the A264 along a footpath. For a comprehensive selection of twenty Roman road routes, see Alex Vincent's 'Roman Roads of Sussex', published by Middleton Press (2000).
