Medieval And Early Modern Communications
An important factor influencing the creation of a settlement at High Rochester must have been its relationship to the medieval communications network in the area and in particular to the former Roman road, Dere Street, which skirted the north and east sides of the fort.

Communities And Communications
The two largest villages in the parish of Elsdon, Elsdon itself and Otterburn, lie outside the townships of the Upper Rede valley. In fact, Otterburn is completely outside the area of the National Park altogether. Within the upper Rede valley, it is possible to trace the development of three small village or hamlet communities only. These are Horsley, Rochester and Byrness.
