Unsure as to whether this MS is listed but I would presume that it is.
Edit: The Milestone Society has informed me that this is not a listed MS due to it being moved from its original position during the construction of the Roundabout at the A6055 junction.

Field of Grain near Ornhams Hall My journey was intended to follow this footpath from Grafton to Minskip. Beyond this field lies the A168, which used to be the A1. Just beyond that is the new A1(M) which has cut the right of way in two, and has not been restored. This entailed a long detour up the A168 to Boroughbridge to cross the motorway and then follow the A6055 to Minskip - be warned!

A168 south of Boroughbridge The photo position would once have been in the central reservation of the A1 dual carriageway, but now the road has been upgraded to motorway and has been rebuilt some 200m further west. The old southbound carriageway now serves as the A168, a road which consistently grows in length and now reaches as far south as A1[M] junction 45 beyond Wetherby.
