Sleaford Road The A17 Road looking in the direction of Newark - again looking deceptively quiet on this midweek afternoon. In truth this is a horrible section of road to walk on foot with no path and a slew of articulated lorries passing by at an alarming rate. This picture was taken from the relative calm of Flawford Cottages access drive.

Stapleford Woods The place for a peaceful walk which plays host to a large number of exotic trees. Stapleford is famous for its rhododendrons which are throughout the wood.
