The B3306, also known as the West Cornwall Coast Road, is a major road of southwestern Cornwall. It connects St Ives in the east to St Just in the west, and eventually joins the A30 road to the northeast of Sennen in the southwest of the Penwith peninsula. This thirteen-mile road is often voted one of the greatest driving roads in the United Kingdom for its scenery, with most of the road having views both across the Bristol Channel to the north, and the Cornish Moorland to the south.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=B3306 )〕 It hugs the coastline for a great proportion of its length, which contributes to its natural beauty. ==Description== The road begins in the town of St Ives, adjacent to St Ives Library, on the junction with the A3074 road at . In St Ives it is initially known as "Gabriel Street" and then "The Stennack" and "Higher Stennack". The road ends at the junction with the A30 road at , outside St Just. Notable settlements it passes through (from St Ives to the southwest) include Zennor, Boswednack, Treen, Porthmeor, Morvah, Bojewyan, Pendeen, Trewellard, Carnyorth, Botallack, Kenidjack, St Just, Bosavern and Kelynack.〔, ((B3306 road ))〕 The bridge near St Just, dated to the early 19th century, became a Grade II listed building on 21 September 1973.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bridge Under B3306 Road, St Just )〕 A number of notable early Bronze Age or Neolithic sites lie alongside or immediately off this road, including Zennor Quoit, Sperris Quoit, Chûn Quoit and Lanyon Quoit.〔The following references apply to these ancient sites along the B3306 road: * Lanyon Quoit, Zennor Quoit and Chûn Quoit: * Lanyon Quoit and Zennor Quoit: * Lanyon Quoit and Zennor Quoit: * Chûn Quoit: * Zennor Quoit and Sperris Quoit—the book states "Sperris Quoit, 400yds ENE of Zennor Quoit.": 〕 The road is notoriously tight and twisting, and challenging to drivers. In early 2009, after heavy rain and flooding near Zennor, the road was closed at Chykembro Culvert because of flood damage to its foundations.〔Cornwall Council, (Emergency Road Closures ), retrieved 22 April 2012〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「B3306 road」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
