Crowland is best known for its abbey and the three-way Trinity Bridge in the town centre. Most traffic passes on the A16 bypass, a fast single carriageway that runs from the A47 at Eye to Spalding. It used to be called the A1073, and some older sat-navs still show it that way.
24 hour car recovery in Crowland
- Cars stopped on the A16, where lay-bys are few and the verges drop into ditches.
- Breakdowns on the B1040 to Thorney and the fen droves towards Cowbit and Deeping St Nicholas.
- Vans and pick-ups used for farm and packhouse work with flat batteries or fuel problems.
- Cars that have slid into a ditch on a wet or icy night and need winching out.
If your car has gone into a dyke, don’t try to drive it out. Get everyone safe, call 999 if anyone is hurt or the car is in water, and then call us. We send a truck with a winch.

FAQ
Straight answers
Can you pull a car out of a ditch near Crowland?
Yes. Tell us how far down it is and whether it is in water, and send a photo if you can, so the driver brings the right winch and straps.
Is the A1073 the same road as the A16 at Crowland?
Yes. The Peterborough to Spalding road past Crowland was renumbered as part of the A16 in 2011. Some older sat-navs and maps still call it the A1073, so either name is fine when you call.
How do I tell you where I am on a fen road near Crowland?
Send a WhatsApp location pin or a what3words address. Otherwise, tell us the last village or junction you passed and which way you were heading. Fen roads look alike, so a pin saves a lot of time.
