3 unusual facts about Bluestone Heath Road


Bluestone Heath Road

The Ancient Roman people also used the road, sometimes closely following the original Celtic route, sometimes deviating from it (for example, near Tetford where the Roman route cuts into the valley and away from the ridge line).

There is a disputed claim that the road was used as a munitions store during WWII due to its proximity to a number of air fields, together with a local legend that a German Doodlebug or V-2 rocket landed on Tetford Hill but never detonated.

It climbs to a height of 98 metres (320 feet) above sea level near Tetford, and, on a fine day, provides a marvelous view of the hamlets, corn fields, hills and landmarks of the area, such as Lincoln Cathedral, Boston Stump and the North Sea.
