Hemel's Magic Roundabout was constructed in 1973, a year after its counterpart in Swindon. It is formally known as The Plough Roundabout or Moor End Roundabout. Despite their reputation these roundabouts work well and it is doubtful if any driver using them regularly would think twice about them. The River Gade flows through the middle. This is an accidental retake from the same viewpoint of Giles' <a href='http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/377720'>TL0506 : Hemel Hempstead's 'Magic Roundabout'</a>. The one major change that seems to have taken place is the reconfiguration of the junction arrangements with the road boottom right.
There are some houses on the righthand side of the road here. This photograph was taken from the driveway to some of their garages looking in the Dagnall direction.
Looking roughly northwest along the A4146 just beyond Chiltern Farm. The road cuts across the southwestern corner of the gridsquare.
Build as part of the plans for the Leighton Buzzard Bypass, this roundabout joins the A4146 to the minor Galley Lane country road. The part of the A4146 joining this roundabout to the A5 roundabout was actually part of the old Galley Lane.

Since drivers can go in either direction around the roundabout it can be a nightmare for strangers.The minis help to make it understandable.
