Dist:0.3km north<br/>This was once the A1 road to the north and for many years brought heavy traffic [and trade] to this linear village. A six lane motorway now passes to the east of Aberford.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>One can wander through the village of Aberford playing 'spot the coaching inn'. The Swan is the most obvious as it still functions as a busy inn, but there are others which have become private houses or business premises since trade left the village.

Dist:0.6km north<br/>A property requiring some attention. This property is situated beneath gracefully slung national grid high-tension cables. Also close to M1 & adjoining village sewerage works for constant free background noise and aromas. Easy access to the national motorway system to local cities.
