Medieval economy focuses on the apparent growth of trade in various goods; however, few have studied the actual network of roads that was vital to medieval commerce. Starting from the basic concept of 'road' during the medieval period and discussing the increasing need for travel, this book explores evidence from documents and maps that provide clues about where the roads of medieval Britain led, connecting the study of individual roads to paint a picture of the broader road network. The author also uses findings from archaeological research and aerial photographs to trace centuries-old routes and depict the winding pathways that once transported goods to markets.
