Just thought I'd share some pics of a couple of abandoned roads in Leicestershire that my brinrger and I cruised/walked along. 

If you know of similar roads then please share! :) 

rhis road is the old a47 near Oakham. As can be seen it even includes two abandoned side roads! 

Oh and don't worry this is totally legal as it is a public road/bridal way :) 

hope youbrnjoy! 

And here's another one: 

this is the old Thurmaston Lane in Leicester which got split in two because of a new road. As an be seen some of it is now a footpath/cycle track but the old road is visable and abit further along it's a dead end but still clearly a road! 

That's really cool....make great cycleways I imagine as I'm sure they still end up somewhere?

Thanks Trevor :) 

thurmaston lane does come to a dead end due to new houses. The old a47 comes back and joins up to the new road (I say new but it's been there atleast 25 years)
