Download coordinates as: The A606 is an A road in England that starts in West Bridgford, on the outskirts of Nottingham, and heads southeastwards through Leicestershire and the towns of Melton Mowbray and Oakham, terminating at Stamford, Lincolnshire on the former Great North Road.

The road begins a few hundred yards south of Nottinghamshire County Hall[1] (built in 1937), in West Bridgford in the district of Rushcliffe, at the traffic lights junction of the A60 (for Loughborough) and the B679 (for Wilford).

The line then continued from Melton to Oakham, then on to Corby and Kettering, and was the fastest route to Nottingham by train from St Pancras.

In Edwalton, the road then crosses[2] the former railway, where a few hundred metres further south it is still accessible by train.

[15] Crossing the Dalby Brook, the road enters[16] Leicestershire and the district of Melton.

The road descends down a hill[23] into Ab Kettleby, the former home of Desert Orchid, passing the Sugar Loaf on the left.

The southbound road now follows the A607 to the east on Norman Way, then follows Thorpe End and Sherrard Street to the west, in a convoluted route through the town centre.

The road passes Melton Mowbray railway station, and crosses the Birmingham to Peterborough Line and the River Eye.

The road climbs the side of the River Eye's valley out of Melton, passing the former King Edward VII School.

The road climbs to the top of a hill, where it becomes the boundary[33] between Rutland[34] (to the left) and Leicestershire (to the right), reaching 160 metres at Green's Lodge.

It crosses the Birmingham to Peterborough Line, and there is a roundabout[43] for the B668 (Burley Road), close to a Midlands Co-op superstore.

The road passes on the north shore of Rutland Water, and the southern edge of Burley Wood.

It enters Lincolnshire, South Kesteven, and Stamford as Empingham Road losing its trunk road status, passing the Malcolm Sargent Primary School (former Exeter secondary modern school), on the left, and the Danish Invader,[51] on the right.

There is a right turn for Roman Bank (former Ermine Street) and it reaches its terminus at Scotgate – the former Great North Road (B1081).
