Ben Nevis Drive in Broomfield – Named after Ben Nevis, a mountain in the Grampian Mountains, Scotland. First appears in street directories in 1991. A small amount of information from the library website.
Ben Nevis is actually the highest mountain in the UK and is a Munro. When I climbed Ben Nevis there was still snow on the top and I found a geocache at the top. The track up the mountain was really busy but most people didn’t go right to the top.
Most the houses on the street were built in 1980s and 1990s and built from brick. There is an entrance to Rosella Reserve on this street. My usual complaint about the lack of footpaths. One house had an interesting letterbox and pretentious garden ornaments. The street has an award plaque hanging from a lamp post for being most attractive street and gardens. The gardens didn’t really do a lot for me as they were mostly the style of immaculate lawns with hardly any flowers.
