Or at least that's what it was when it was put in. As an all weather track it, not too surprisingly, proved popular with walkers and a dog was unfortunately killed by a cyclist soon after it was opened. It is now a joint path, with pedestrians having priority and a speed limit of 10mph. There are signs saying the 20 mph speed limit on the road applies to bikes. I wonder if the 10mph limit applies to runners, I used to run faster than that along it.
