Batham Gate
Batham Gate: the modern road follows the line of the Roman road near Laughman Tor
Batham Gate is the medieval name for a Roman road in Derbyshire, England, UK, which ran south-west from Templebrough on the River Don to Brough-on-Noe (Latin Navio) and the spa town of Buxton (Latin Aquae Arnemetiae). Gate means "road" in northern English dialects; the name therefore means "road to the bath town".
