Watling Street at Richborough
Watling Street at Richborough
Richborough was the Roman "Gateway to Britain" and the starting point of Watling Street, leading from Richborough, or Rutupiae, to Canterbury and on to London. The start of the road was marked by an enormous archway in the centre of Richborough Fort. Only the foundations of the archway still exist, but the route of Watling Street, seen here just outside the fort, is still to be seen in the form of this farm track.
