An ancient routeway with strong prehistoric characteristics passes through the four parishes of Holcombe Rogus, Burlescombe, Culmstock and Uffculme. It runs from at least north west of Whipcott Farm, ST06121886, south via Five Fords on the River Culm, Ratash Lane, Portway and Southill Barton to join the B3181 to Cullompton. The ridgeway is a slightly curving continuation of existing roads, lanes and field boundaries. It is crossed by a Roman road broadly aligned on the A38.
