 Sleaford is in the centre of rural
Lincolnshire, about 20 miles from Newark, 18 miles from Boston.
Apart from the A1, which passes through Lincolnshire on its way
north, there are very few dual carriageways to be found in the
county. However, to compensate this, there are several A roads
and traffic is generally light in the area. |
