Long road starts outside London Underground station and ends in pretty market town
The road stretches from London to a beautiful town in Norfolk, passing through a number of towns and cities along the way.
The A10, a staggering 98-mile road that begins just outside Monument station in the heart of London and ends in a charming Norfolk market town, is one of the longest roads leading out of the capital. This impressive route takes you through Dalston, Tottenham, and Enfield before continuing onto Cheshunt and into Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire.
It weaves directly through the centre of Cambridge and Ely, finally finishing up at King's Lynn near the Norfolk coastline. The destination town itself, King's Lynn, is steeped in history and makes for a beautiful drive.
Once a bustling port and market town, it was a hub for European trade until the 17th century. Despite the decline of the port, the thriving market remained.
Notable historical buildings include the 15th century Hanseatic Warehouse and Trinity Guildhall with its chequered brick-work on the market square. For those interested in delving deeper into the town's rich history, guided tours are available.
Beyond its architectural treasures, the town boasts an abundance of parks and gardens, a vibrant shopping district and the bustling Tuesday Market Place, reports MyLondon.
