Dist:0.2km<br/>The road was built to service the Royal Military Canal and runs throughout its length though only the section between Rye and Appledore has been tarmacked and is in current use for motor vehicles. The toll booth set up suggests a popular route for non-military users from the beginning particularly as the route from East Guldeford and Walland Marsh went via Scots Float Sluice until the beginning of the 20th century.
