Great little spot to rest the legs. Has a bin and view over to Dorrington church. Road itself shadows much busier roads so great to get a head and avoid the speeding masses 😬

Good cafe, just outside the centre of Sleaford so saves going into the one way system. Road can be a bit busy. Nice outside seating area and normal cafe menu.

Small lay-by where people park to walk in the local woods/nature reserve, which is managed by Lincs Wildlife Trust. Bin nearby for your waste and a bench where you can sit, rest and watch the world go by. Lovely quiet road and views across the fields.
