A rather stumpy public right of way proceeds 14m from Henville Road, whereupon it just stops. It did have a purpose before the roads here were realigned and severed to make way for the main A338 in the 1970s: Henville Road was previously a Y-shaped road, and this path cut the corner off within the centre junction of the 'Y'. Today, it is overgrown for about 13 of its 14-metre length, and as such is barely navigable even if there was some purpose for doing so. Needless to say, I didn't attempt to walk along it just now. It also appears to have become something of a litter repository.
