Dist:0.3km<br/>The OS names this junction as Denbigh Corner. It is the start of the A446. The large gantry sign shows how important and busy a junction this is, and it was even more so when the gantry was built - before the construction of the M6 and M42. Packington landfill site can be seen in the background. The full height of the ground that can be seen behind the trees is all man-made landfill.

See Wikipedia: Little Packington is a hamlet in the North Warwickshire district of the county of Warwickshire in England. It is situated just to the north west of Great Packington and outside the boundaries of Packington Park. There is a small, interesting church dedicated to St Bartholomew. It is of Norman origin with medieval timber framing and 17th century internal additions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Packington
