A Welsh family that has lived amid a bustling roundabout for more than 40 years says the unique location doesn't bother them, but it's a problem arranging deliveries since trucks can't find their house.
Clwyd Howatson, 64, and his wife Anwen, 60, live in a bungalow in the middle of a roundabout on the Denbigh A525 bypass in Denbighshire.
Since the bypass was erected in the scenic Vale of Clwyd in North Wales, their home has been surrounded by five crossroads.
Mr. Howatson, a builder and electrician from a large family, has lived on a roundabout for 40 years and plans to continue living there despite potential issues.
The family has become a local staple, known as 'Howatson Corner', as their neighbors are also family members.
The couple remained steadfast in their decision not to move, jokingly stating that they would never move Clwyd out of their current location unless he passed away.
"We will never get Clwyd out of here unless in his coffin."
Speaking today, Mr Howatson said: "62 years I have lived here and there are many happy memories. Before, we had lived across the road.
"We get the odd accident and loads of drivers went the wrong way when the roundabout first opened but it happens rarely now.
"We love the view of the mountains and we have no neighbors encroaching on us."
The white house is located in the center of the large roundabout, with a driveway that at one point leads directly onto the road.
There was a railway nearby until the 1960s. Thousands of motorists pass by the four-bedroom bungalow every day on the scenic A525 route that runs from the coast.
Mrs. Howatson, a 60-year-old cleaner, describes the noise and difficulty of getting off the roundabout. She mentions that the traffic is one-way, making it easy to exit. Grandfather Howatson, who owns a pony and hens, supposes that crossing the road is the only disadvantage.
However, he added: "It's like living anywhere else on the side of a busy road. It's just it's all the way around us. But it's a lot noisier next to the A55 dual carriageway. At least here motorists have to slow."
In 1960, his parents moved to a bungalow with spectacular views of Welsh scenery, but he and his wife may have taken it for granted.
In the late 1970s, plans for a roundabout were submitted, but David John and Eirian refused to build another bungalow, staying put until 1980, when David John passed away.
Mr. Howatson emphasized that living on the roundabout is a great conversation starter, with people often asking questions about how to get to their houses.
'We have double glazing so it's not something that bothers us and the road only gets really busy at peak times which is only a few times a day.
"Getting off the roundabout on the other hand can be a bit of a challenge.
"When people are on a roundabout they don't expect someone to come out of the roundabout itself so we do get a few double-takes.
"It can be a bit awkward as well if someone lets you go because someone could be coming up on the other lane, but we don't really have any issues with it, we just tend to wait until it's a bit quieter."
Mr Howatson said: "We share the same postcode as the houses around us so it can take a while for drivers to realise the house is on the roundabout if they've not been before.
Arranging deliveries is a complex task, as drivers often mistake Howatson's home for a nearby road, making the process more challenging.
Mr Howatson said: "We share the same postcode as the houses around us so it can take a while for drivers to realise the house is on the roundabout if they've not been before.
"They always sound a bit dubious until they get here."
Over the past 40 years, he hasn't witnessed any significant crashes in his 40-year residence, but he noted that some people initially walked the roundabout incorrectly.
