The A607 road The A607 is an A road which runs for 54 miles between Leicester and Bracebridge Heath, a village on the outskirts of Lincoln. It crosses the A1 at Grantham. Beyond Grantham, the A607 forms the "villages" route between the A1 and Lincoln, not as direct as the High Dyke route (B6403) and not as fast as the Newark route (A1/A46), but is probably the most scenic of the three.
