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.
