As the village of Clifton Reynes is situated at the end of a cul-de-sac, the sign of its Robin Hood pub has travelled to an intersection immediately east of the village in order to serve its purpose better. At this vantage point, a small sign below the painted signboard informs the traveller that he is just 359 paces, or about as many metres, from a drink.
