Near to a roundabout formed by Stoughton Road (the B582) and Whitebeam Road, access can be gained to this semi-private road, Blackthorn Road. It is a turning off Whitebeam Road. This is approximately 1/6th of the way along the southern-most end of this 'limited access only' road. Although there is pedestrian access along its full length (of 2 miles approximately) - and vehicular access for residents who live in it - it is in fact a "No Through Road" created by this barrier. Access to the other end of road - for pedestrians and for residents living along the longer 2/3rds stretch of it (i.e. the northern-most end of it) is from Manor Road. Much of the land and facilities along the length of the road is/are University property, i.e. halls of residence and sports facilities, although 15-20 houses line parts of its length.
