Neslam Road 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. Neslam Road which runs eastwards from the B1177 between Billingborough and Pointon is an exception as it crosses the South Forty Foot Drain at Neslam Bridge. Unlike some of the other roads which cross the South Forty Foot Drain, it is a fairly quiet, narrow and bumpy road. This is a typical fenland scene with a flat landscape, large hedgeless fields, often isolated trees and lonely farms.
