A lane to Dean At this point, at the top of a steep hill, there is a sign "Unsuitable for HGVs". True enough, but what on earth are they expected to do? There is nowhere to turn, and over 500 metres to reverse. And I saw no such warning for HGVs coming from Dean and going north.

How very English village! It's admirable how these small English hamlets maintain their charm. The quality of their public houses and general tidiness and cleanliness is a credit to them.

End of the line at Ullock This railway carriage has probably become some Englishman's castle. The embankment is his front garden complete with tunnel and it appears to be lovingly cared for.
