Three, rather than the usual two, railings form a barrier on this public footpath, U39, between Heather Road and Green Lane. It is no doubt intended to prevent high-speed cycling on what has, in recent years, been marked out 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 ahead, and Image for the start of the path behind us.
