The stone bridge and high street are so pretty and peaceful it’s a bit of a shock to find you’re actually just a stone’s throw from two busy A roads. There is a slightly hidden bike path to take you under the A1 if you look for it.

Neat village just a few miles from the Nene Valley heritage railway. A quiet lane runs west to Kingscliffe. Watch out for the WWII airfield memorial on the south side of this lane.
