This road forks off the A35 at Lambert's Hill, and goes as straight as it can (which is not particularly straight in this hilly countryside) towards Eggardon Hill. The sharp bend in the picture is a 20th century diversion to make the junction with the main road safer. The original course of the road continues under the grass.
