Batham Gate is an ancient Roman road crossing the High Peak area of Derbyshire in England, traditionally linking the spa town of Buxton with the Roman fort of Navio at Brough-on-Noe. The name literally means “road to the baths” and remnants of the agger, hollow ways and stonework survive across the gritstone moorland, underlining its archaeological and historic importance.
Much of the route today exists as bridleways and quiet lanes through the northern Peak District, popular with walkers and local heritage groups; it also contributes to the local rural economy through tourism and a cultural identity tied to long‑distance routes and upland farming. The contrast between exposed moorland, visible Roman engineering and working countryside gives Batham Gate a distinctive mix of natural, historic and social interest.
