A stretch of Historic Highway
This piece of old tarmac, complete with road markings, is part of the A69 trunk road, prior to improvements in the 1970s when the carriageway was relocated slightly to the south. The old stretch is now closed off, and despite becoming increasingly overgrown makes for a pleasant shady walk.
