I was going to flippantly reply that of course, it's just the name of a type of road. But then I thought to check Wikipedia [1] about it first. Quite interesting: > In western Europe, [...] ridgeways are a typical feature of long-distance ancient routes through rugged, high-rainfall parts of Germany and across the island of Great Britain. These ancient trackways generally ran along the hilltops, only descending when necessary to cross valleys. > As such, they are an opposite to modern-style roads, which tend to run along the valleys and only ascend when necessary to cross the hilltops.
