Ancient trackway in East Dorset
Image: © Martin Rowley Taken: 24 Jul 2012
This image, roughly halfway between the busy Wimborne Road and the even busier Ringwood Road (A347), both former turnpikes of late 18th century vintage, shows the 'true' nature of the track that might have been familiar to folk using the way over a couple of centuries ago. I doubt the trees would have been so developed - the track would have passed across a heathland landscape and the shrubbery would have been cropped by ponies, cattle & wild animals etc.
