Not to be confused with The Kingsroad (to the northwest) · The Kingsroad (to the north) · The Kingsroad (to the south).
On this tab
The Kingsroad is the longest route in the Seven Kingdoms: it starts at Castle Black, by the Wall, and runs nearly two thousand miles down to King's Landing, continuing south from there toward Storm's End.
Whole armies have marched along it, and kings have ridden it on their way to the capital; it is the spine that ties the northern edge of the realm to the south.
Route
Construction and Route
It was raised during the reign of Jaehaerys the Conciliator, meant to bind the capital to the northern lands.
Between the Neck and the capital the road stays in decent repair, dotted with inns, villages and holdfasts. At the Inn at the Crossroads it meets the High Road, and once in King's Landing it joins the Roseroad as well.
North of the Neck, and south of the capital too, the surface worsens into dirt and stone track, with inns scarcer and less fit for large parties. Beyond Winterfell the road narrows into a rough, wild trail; only a handful of scattered farms remain before it reaches the Wall.
