Little stretch of road with cattle grids at either end. Sheep roam freely here. Red kites can be spotted here as well.

A lovely lane this, heading away from the noise of the A1. To the north of this Pickworth road is Woolfox golf club and the remains of RAF Woolfox airbase. In later WWII this was a significant base for bombers and in the cold-war period was the home to Bloodhound missiles. Older readers will remember seeing these when passing on the A1. All quiet and peaceful now.
