Roman Roads
You can still follow in the footsteps of Roman soldiers. They were compulsive road builders, connecting their forts and camps throughout Wales with far-reaching and well-engineered trackways. It's easy to find them with a good map. Some - such as the typically straight-as-a-dye minor road running westwards from Trecastle, South Wales - are now part of our modern road network. Others still survive in their original form. The Romans' most famous Welsh road is Sarn Helen. To see it at its authentic best follow the stretch through the Brecon Beacons from just north of Ystradfellte to Coelbren.
