Entrance to Kingsford Caravan Park and Kingsford Public House near Drakelow The caravan park is one of many around here and has wooden chalets, as well as static caravans. Residents can only stay here for 11 months of the year as the site closes for one month each year. The site includes Kingsford Public House, which would appear to be a public house rather than a club, and therefore open to non-residents.

Start of the access road to Bodenham Arboretum, near Drakelow This private road goes for about 1km or so to the car park for the arboretum. The arboretum is well worth a visit at any time of year and there is a café there.
