The Roman Road in Cambridgeshire, also known as Worsted Street Roman Road,[2] is a 12.4-hectare (31-acre) linear biological Site of Special Scientific Interest stretching from south-east of Cambridge to north of Linton.

[5] This green lane has calcareous grassland, thick hedges and small copses, which provide a valuable habitat for invertebrates.

There are grasses such as sheep’s-fescue and quaking-grass, while herbs include wild carrot and purple milk-vetch.

[6] The date of the road is uncertain, but archaeological excavation has confirmed that it is Roman, and probably constructed later than the first century.

[2] The road is a public footpath[5] and part of the E2 European long distance path.
