Steep Hill with Potholes

Take care on descent due to potholes everywhere. Narrow bridge over the A1 has poor forward visibility to oncoming vehicles too.

Station Gardens

Highlight • Structure

Lovely community allotment area of raised beds with a picnic bench and car park.
At one time there was a minimal cafe operating - I suspect the closure is temporary and Covid-19 related.
