SALT WAY, an ancient Roman road, from the coast of Hants, northward through Worcestershire and Warwickshire, to some point on the N coast. It is distinctlytraceable in parts of its course to Old Droitwich, and is called up to that point Lower Salt-way; but it is either faintly traceable or quite obliterated and only conjectural to the N of Old Droitwich, and is thence called Upper Salt-way. It went from Porchester, through Southampton and Winchester, to Colne, St. Aldwin; crossed Akeman-street there; went on to Northleach; crossed the Fosse way there; proceeded by Hawling, Sudeley, and Evesham, to Old Droitwich; and is presumed to have gone thence by Birmingham, Stretton, Charnwood Forest, Sedgehill, Warmby, Saltby, Saltersford, Paunston, Stainsfield, and other places, to the coast.
