Looking along Long Drove at Hundred Fen Each of the villages between Bourne and Heckington, a distance of some 15 miles, almost without exception has a road leading out onto the fen named after its village and terminating at the South Forty Foot Drain. These roads are often straight, apart from double-sharp bends to keep them heading in the same direction. The road eastwards from the B1177 between Billingborough and Pointon is an exception as it crosses the South Forty Foot Drain. At first it is known as Neslam Road (after Neslam Fen) and after it crosses the Drain it becomes Long Drove. Unlike some of the other roads which cross the South Forty Foot Drain, this is a fairly quiet, narrow and bumpy road.

Looking across Hundred Fen This is a typical fenland scene with a flat landscape, large hedgeless fields, often isolated trees and lonely farms. The most noticeable feature is often the skies as here. This was a day of sunshine and heavy showers - towering clouds in the distance promise more rain.
