The benchmark is cut into a wooden gatepost which is now disused, and is well hidden in the trackside hedge and undergrowth.

Junction 49, A1(M)

The last junction on this stretch of the A1(M) through Yorkshire. Since this was taken the upgrade has been completed to the north.

A1(M) junction 49

Will that lorry fit under?

Leaving the A1(M) at junction 49

The sign says A168, but motorway continues for about 2 km, so is this strictly a side spur of the A1(M) or the A168(M)?

Robin Webster

Bridge at A1(M) junction 49

The motorway spur to the A168 passes under the main A1(M), which shortly to the left is downgraded to plain A1.

A168 bridge over A168 route

The road ahead still has motorway status for a short distance, so is it a side spur of the A1(M)? It merges soon with the regular A168 eastbound.

Copt Hewick Common

A small area of access land next to the Ripon to Dishforth road, which would appear to be the remnants of the old common. In recent years it has become the playground for trials bikers and is also popular with those who like to dump rubbish in the countryside. Update 2023. The area was cleared of rubbish around 2019 and access blocked by the construction of a bank along the roadside, where parking is nigh on impossible. Since those changes, nature has returned and the area is now in a much better state.

A1(M), J49

The A1 is the longest numbered road in the UK at 410 miles long. It connects London with Edinburgh, via the east of England. For much of its path it follows the Great North Road the old coaching route between London and Edinburgh. Several sections of the route are classified as motorway A1(M). The modern A1 bypasses the towns the Great North Road passed through and is dual carriageway for most of its route through England.

Dishforth Road

The road from Ripon climbs to Copt Hewick Common with puddles by the roadside. Taken late on a gloomy winter afternoon, and through a windscreen, so a very poor image.
