Popping out onto the road the trio reached the old Roman Road Stane Street. The National trust kindly put up a few words of description.
Chichester Museum also tells us:

Stane Street originally ran from the invasion port at Fishbourne to a river crossing at today's Pulborough. The new town of Chichester grew up on the line of the road, which then became the link to the provincial capital at London. Some of the line of Stane Street is still in use as a road, particularly parts of the A285 between Chichester and Halnaker and the A29 between Pulborough and Slinfold. The best preserved part of the road runs across The Gumber towards the top of the Downs at Bignor Hill.
