A1175 road

As Uffington road it crosses the River Gwash, Ben leaving Stamford at Newstead Mill.

[6] Continuing in a roughly easterly direction the road passes Tallington lakes.

It crosses the Roman Car Dyke, two examples of civil engineering built nearly two millennia apart.

The A1175 then, whatever it might be called, leaves the Deeping bypass, still as single carriageway, and passes through the villages of Hop Pole, and Deeping St Nicholas, before crossing the Peterborough-Spalding railway line on an oblique level crossing at the former Littleworth railway station.

Cowbit wash is a low-lying area around the Welland designed to be flooded to protect Spalding.

Within a short distance there is another bridge over the New River (an artificial course of the Welland) at where there is also a small roundabout.

After Uffington, through Tallington to the end of the Deeping bypass at Littleworth, the terrain is flatter, described as river terrace sands and gravels overlying the mudstones of the Kellaway and Oxford clay formations.

From Hop Pole onwards, Deeping Fen is formed of tidal zone deposits less than 2 million years old, over the same Oxford clays.
