Peddars Wayとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Peddars Way is a long distance footpath in Norfolk, England. It is 46 miles (74 km) long and follows the route of a Roman road. It has been suggested by more than one writer that it was not created by the Romans but was an ancient trackway, a branch or extension of the Icknield Way, used and remodelled by the Romans. The name is said to be derived from the Latin pedester – on foot. It is first mentioned on a map of 1587 AD. It starts at Knettishall Heath in Suffolk (about 7 km/4 mi east of Thetford near the Norfolk-Suffolk border), and it links with the Norfolk Coast Path at Holme-next-the-Sea. It is now one of 15 National Trails in England and Wales.
