Muscliff: passing two accesses to the Stour Valley Way

Looking along the Stour Valley Way as it approaches open countryside from the suburbs - the car is pointing down a lane with some of the few original houses in the area (hemmed in by much modern development) while in the darkness of tree cover, directly ahead, we can just see steps ascending to a public garden off Wishart Close. This is photo 35 in a series of 43 along the length of public footpath M15, Bournemouth's longest public right of way and the only one over 2km in length. It forms part of the Stour Valley Way long-distance path, although it doesn't see all that much of the Stour. It consists of a tarmacked lane at the Throop end and a good quality gravel path for the majority of its course - it has been improved in the last few years to make it wheelchair accessible and a shared route for cyclists. See Image for the previous photo and Image for the next - these provide links to the other photos all along the route to each end.
