This public footpath, also now a shared cycle route, runs along the north side of the main A338 Wessex Way, which is to our left. We see it here as it approaches the dead end of Portchester Road on its way to Wellington Road. Before the Wessex Way was built, there was no dead end and no footpath here - the road continued to our left and finished at what is now Portchester Place. See Image for the path as it arrives at the dead end ahead, and Image for the view of the path behind us at Ascham Road.
