The B2070 was originally a road running through Romney Marsh in Kent. It started in the centre of Ashford, before heading south through Kingsnorth, Hamstreet, Snave and Ivychurch to end on the A259 in New Romney.
In the 1980s a section of this road, along with the B2081 from Snave to Brenzett, was upgraded to become the A2070, whilst the remainder of the route through Ivychurch was downgraded.
The ex-B2070 has now almost been completely bypassed as it forms part of the south coast trunk route between the A259 at Brenzett and the M20; however, most of the original route still exists, some complete with B2070 or A2070 signs.
