A66 road
The
A66
is a major road in
Northern England
, which in part follows the course of the
Roman road
from
Scotch Corner
to
Penrith
. It runs from east of
Middlesbrough
in the
ceremonial county
of
North Yorkshire
to
Workington
in
Cumbria
. It is
anomalously numbered
since west of
Penrith
it trespasses into numbering zone 5; this is because it originally terminated at the
A6
in Penrith but was extended further west in order to create one continuous east–west route. Most of what is now the A66 west of Penrith was originally
A594
– only a small stub of this road remains, from
Maryport
to
Cockermouth
.
