Road junction at Low Entercommon At this point a minor road meets the A167. The sign on the left indicates the boundary between Richmondshire and Hambleton, two of the local authorities which operated within North Yorkshire until 2023 when the whole county came under one administration. One assumes that such signs are now obsolete. Toll Bar Garage is just visible in the distance.
