Roman soldiers, drovers, pilgrims, merchants, tourists – Wiltshire has always been a place of travellers, trekking along our highways, and usually on their way to somewhere else. But our roads are also for those who live here, to visit friends, to go to market, to drive to work. They have a long history, which most of us take for granted.

John Chandler is Consultant Editor for VCH Wiltshire. He began studying and writing about Wiltshire roads in the 1970s, and has kept up his interest ever since.
