Dere Street is in Roman Roads.

Dere Street is a Roman Road that ran from Eboracum aka York [Map] into Scotland. Its end in Scotland is unclear - it is believed it met the Antonine Wall.

Its name is possibly derived from Deira, which, with Bernicia, formed Northumberland.

Dere Street was, confusingly, up until the 1850s, referred to as Watling Street?
