The Roman road from Waverbridge to Pattenfoot is a scheduled ancient monument in Cumberland, England, forming part of the network of military routes constructed during the Roman occupation of northern Britain. The road dates to the Roman period, likely established in connection with the consolidation of Roman control in the region during the first and second centuries AD. The surviving remains preserve evidence of Roman road construction techniques, including the characteristic cambered surface and metalling characteristic of such military infrastructure. This route would have served to connect Roman forts and facilitate the movement of troops and supplies across the challenging terrain of the Lake District region.
