<2> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Linstead-on-the-Severn) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Linstead-on-the-Severn.
