This public footpath, numbered U39, leads from Heather Road to Hadow Road via the dead end of Green Lane. Here, we see it at its eastern end. In recent years, it has been marked as a shared foot/cycle route. Many of the footpaths on the West Howe estate and thereabouts have been given names in the last couple of years, a safety initiative whose intention is that, in the event of calling for help, one's location can be more easily described. This one has been named Learning Lane, no doubt because it leads to Hadow Road, where the area's primary and secondary schools are located. See Image for the next view along the path.
