World's smallest roundabout

The world’s smallest roundabout is on the B247, in Walliesbottom, Sussex. It encircles a pond with a diameter of 1.25 metres, which used to be in the back garden of Marcus Sodbury’s house. When the new road was built in 2002, Mr. Sodbury’s house was demolished to make way for it, but due to a byelaw dating back to the 16^th Century, the pond had to be preserved, and the road had to go around it, rather than to the side, “lest Lucifer find his way o’er the vacant side of the lane.”
