A1101 road

The A1101 is the lowest road in Great Britain, along its 40 mile approx. stretch it rarely rises above sea level. The road runs from Bury St. Edmunds north west to Littleport where it disappears for approximately 2 miles, it then re-appears on the other side of the A10 heading north through Wisbech and to its end at the A17 in Long Sutton. The A1101's route takes it across the Fens in Lincolnshire and Norfolk, a famously low lying area to Suffolk through Cambridgeshire. The road passes through: Long Sutton, Tydd St mary, Tydd Gote, Four Gotes, Wisbech, Outwell, Upwell, Lakesend, Welney, Littleport (bypass), Kennyhill, Beck Row, Mildenhall, Icklingham, Lackford, Flempton, Hengrave, Fornham All Saints and Bury St Edmunds. From Outwell north the road is classified as a primary route. It crosses the following major roads: the A17 - Newark-on-Trent to King's Lynn, the A47 - Great Yarmouth to Birmingham (partially reclassified as the B4114), the A10 (Great Cambridge Road) - London Bridge to Kings Lynn, the A11 - London to Norwich and the A14 - Port of Felixstowe to the M1 junction with the M6 (19) NE of Rugby.
