Akeman Street
Akeman Street was a major
Roman road in
England that linked
London to the
Fosse Way at
Cirencester. Its route passed through various towns and villages including
Hemel Hempstead,
Berkhamsted,
Tring,
Aylesbury and
Bicester before changing direction towards the south-west going past
Woodstock and
Witney to the north before heading into Cirencester.
Part of the road is still in use today, between London and Bicester. This is called the A41.
