Answer 2

Transportation was very basic in the middle ages. Most people never traveled far from their home village or town.

The basic transportation for most people was walking. Goods were carried, or transported in hand carts. Horses were expensive, and were used by the well off. Heavier goods might be moved shorter distances by ox cart.

Some long distance trade did exist. Because of the unreliable condition of roads over long distances merchants moved goods overland by pack animal train in many cases.
