The Maiden Way or Maidenway (Middle English: Maydengathe; Medieval Latin: Via Puellarum) was a roughly 20-mile (32 km) Roman road in northern Britain connecting the Roman fort of Bravoniacum (Kirkby Thore) near Penrith with that of Magnae (Carvoran) on Hadrian's Wall, via the intermediate fort of Epiacum (also known as Whitley Castle) roughly half-way between the two. The Maiden Way was sometimes considered also to have run east along the Stanegate to Banna (Birdoswald), then 7 miles (11 km) north to the Shrine of Cocidius (Bewcastle), and thence to Liddesdale, but the zig-zag identity of this course as a single road is problematic.

  • Maiden Way (psáno též Maidenway) byla starověká římská silnice o délce přibližně 32 km, která v severní Británii spojovala římskou pevnost Bravoniacum poblíž města Penrith s pevností Magnis (Carvoran) na Hadriánově valu, přičemž zhruba v polovině cesty mezi nimi ležela pevnost Epiacum (Whitley Castle).

  • The Maiden Way or Maidenway (Middle English: Maydengathe; Medieval Latin: Via Puellarum) was a roughly 20-mile (32 km) Roman road in northern Britain connecting the Roman fort of Bravoniacum (Kirkby Thore) near Penrith with that of Magnae (Carvoran) on Hadrian's Wall, via the intermediate fort of Epiacum (also known as Whitley Castle) roughly half-way between the two. The Maiden Way was sometimes considered also to have run east along the Stanegate to Banna (Birdoswald), then 7 miles (11 km) north to the Shrine of Cocidius (Bewcastle), and thence to Liddesdale, but the zig-zag identity of this course as a single road is problematic. In 2016, it was reported that investigations using LIDAR technology by the Environment agency for the purposes of flood mapping and other environmental management were providing extensive data showing the existence of underground archaeological features including Roman roads. This included a continuation of the Maiden Way southwards from Kirkby Thore to the Roman fort at Low Borrowbridge near Tebay. Bravoniacum was a waypoint on the northern leg of the Roman road connecting Luguvalium (Carlisle) with Eboracum (York) and points south. Magnae was one of the waypoints on the Stanegate beside Hadrian's Wall. As such, the Maiden Way served as a shortcut for supplying the central and eastern areas of the Wall. It also provided supplies to the lead and silver mines near Epiacum (Whitley Castle). Following the end of Roman rule in Britain, the Maiden Way was used as a drovers' road. The route was probably named after the Maiden Castle fortlet guarding the Stainmore Pass to the east of the fort of Verterae (Brough). The Pennine Way footpath follows the line of the Maiden Way for several miles on a roughly north-south route across Lambley Common in Northumberland, above the west bank of the river South Tyne. Immediately north of this stretch, a modern minor road follows the line of the Maiden Way for several miles to the west of Featherstone Castle. (en)
  • La via Puellarum (in inglese Maiden Way o Maidenway, nell'inglese medio: Maydengathe) era una strada romana di circa 32 km nel nord della Britannia che collegava (Kirkby Thore) con Magnis (Carvoran).

Nel 2016 è stato rilevato con la tecnologia LIDAR la continuazione della via Puellarum verso sud da Kirkby Thore al forte romano di Low Borrowbridge vicino a Tebay. Bravoniacum era un punto di sosta sulla parte settentrionale della Watling Street di epoca romana che collega Luguvalium (Carlisle) con Eboracum (York) e punta a sud. Magnae era uno dei punto di sosta sulla strada Stanegate accanto al Vallo di Adriano. Come tale, la via Puellarum fungeva da scorciatoia per la fornitura delle zone centrali e orientali del Vallo. Forniva inoltre rifornimenti alle miniere di piombo e d'argento nei pressi di (Whitley Castle). Dopo il passaggio dei Romani, è stato utilizzato come sentiero per il passaggio del bestiame. Il percorso è stato probabilmente chiamato così per il "Maiden Castle" a guardia del passo di (Brough). Il sentiero del segue la linea della via Puellarum per diverse miglia lungo una linea nord-sud attraverso Common nel Northumberland, sopra la riva occidentale del fiume Tyne meridionale. Immediatamente a nord di questo tratto, una moderna strada secondaria segue la linea della via Puellarum per diverse miglia a ovest del . Due proprietà adiacenti a questa strada, con i nomi "Maidenway House" e "Maidenway Cottage", attestano l'antichità del percorso. (it)
