There is something vaguely American about Red Lodge with its dead straight dusty road, scattered modern buildings and roadside diners. The effect is heightened by the presence in the area of many actual Americans who work at nearby RAF Lakenheath and live 'off base'. This was formerly the A11 but is now designated the B1085 since the village was by-passed.
