Park Lane One of the main routes off the A46 into Snitterfield. The houses here are a long way from the village centre, but there isn't much in the centre to act as a focus. It has a church, shop, primary school, village hall and pub, but they are not together.

Former route of King's Lane King's Lane was the main through route until superseded by the A46 which is behind the trees to the right. I presume the name reflects Charles II's route as he escaped after the Battle of Worcester.
