It gives me a huge kick that I can look out of my window and see a line of trees where the main road is that Henry VIII travelled along on the way back to London from his Progress of the North with Katharine Howard.
Actually given that it's a main road there have probably been all sorts of significant people travelling along it, but that's my favourite.
