A former Roman Road, which runs south for some 12 miles from Watling Street at Canterbury (the Roman 'Durovernum') to Lympne ('Lemanis') at the western edge of the Romney Marsh. Most of it is now the current B2068 road that runs from Canterbury to the M20 motorway.

See also Link for other Roman Roads.

Note: Another Stone Street, is from Magnis (Kenchester) in modern Herefordshire to Caerleon, Isca Augusta and the main Roman legionary base in the south of Roman Wales.

Lympne is a village on the former shallow-gradient sea cliffs above the expansive agricultural plain of Romney Marsh in Kent. The settlement forms an L shape stretching from Port Lympne Zoo via Lympne Castle facing Lympne Industrial Park then via the main settlement to Newingreen in the north, centred 11 km west of Folkestone, 2.3 mi west of Hythe and 13 km ESE of Ashford. In Roman times Lympne was known as Portus Lemanis.
