Archaeologists in Southern England have dug up what is believed to be Britain's oldest shoe, dating from about 2000 years ago, which has been discovered in a hollowed-out tree trunk in a quarry. The leather shoe is approximately 30 cm long and is believed to have belonged to a man.

It has been removed from the site for analysis of the leather and construction used before it is exhibited at a museum in Exeter, near to where it was discovered.
