The Cribbs Causeway road is a historic route, as it follows a section of a [[Roman roads in Britannia|Roman road]] from [[Sea Mills, Bristol|Sea Mills]] to South Gloucestershire, part of a longer Roman route from [[Gloucester]] to the [[South West England|south-west of England]].<ref name=":1" /> The modern road of that name is situated north of Bristol, and west of the town of [[Patchway]], in the [[civil parish]] of [[Almondsbury]]. It runs approximately north-east from the northern edge of Bristol at [[Henbury, Bristol|Henbury]], to a point just beyond the [[M5 motorway|M5]] motorway (at junction 17), and forms parts of today's [[A4018 road|A4018]] and [[B4055 road|B4055]] roads. It is one of the primary access routes from Bristol to the Cribbs Causeway retail and leisure complex; other primary access routes being the M5 motorway itself, and the Hayes Way link to the [[A38 road|A38]].
 
The [[Hazel Brook]] rises at Cribbs Causeway, flowing southwards through [[Blaise Castle]] estate, before joining the [[River Trym]].
