It's quite weird having local footpaths and paved roads that turn out to have been constructed by the Romans originally - around here that also applies to canals, drainage ditches, etc. It just blends into modern reality.
I imagine some of the Roman stuff was built on even older roads and channels.

Watling street was paved by Romans, but at least part of the route was a road used by local Britons long before the Romans invaded.
