Wade's Causeway is the name applied to an ancient road in the North Yorkshire Moors, North Yorkshire England. It ran from Amotherby near Malton to Whitby passing roughly northward from Malton via Stape and crossing the River Esk at Grosmont, beyond which the route eastwards to Whitby is uncertain. It is thought to have connected the Roman camp at Cawthorne Camp with the garrison at Lease Rigg. The road is presumed to be a Roman road, but may be of medieval construction.[1] Part of the route, on Wheeldale Moor, is well preserved, and has been excavated.[2]
