A6121 road

The A6121 is a short cross-country road in the counties of Lincolnshire and Rutland, England. It forms the principal route between Bourne and Stamford and the A1 in Lincolnshire, continuing on through Ketton in Rutland to its junction with the A47 at Morcott. Its south-western end is at 52°35.5860′N 0°38.0820′W / 52.5931000°N 0.6347000°W / 52.5931000; -0.6347000 and its north-eastern end is at 52°45.9120′N 0°24.0660′W / 52.7652000°N 0.4011000°W / 52.7652000; -0.4011000. The road has increased in importance with the rapid expansion of housing in this part of South Kesteven.

The road is deemed to start from its junction with the A47 to the west of the A1, therefore it is allocated to Zone 6 and numbered accordingly. It was the only A road in the Stamford area that was not a trunk road before the A16 was de-trunked in 2010 to become the A1175.

Route

Morcott - Stamford

It begins in Morcott at the staggered crossroads with the east-west A47 and the B672 (its continuation to Caldecott), becoming Stamford Road near the White Horse Inn. It is crossed here by the Rutland Round and from here to Tinwell, west of Stamford, it follows the River Chater. From South Luffenham to Caldecott, the A6121 and B672 also follow the Rugby branch of the Syston and Peterborough Railway, which opened in 1851. The road passes through South Luffenham as Stamford Road, with a crossroads for the village and Barrowden (to the south), and the Coach House Inn. To the east of the village is the Wireless Hill roundabout for North Luffenham (to the west) and the A47 (to the south).
