This public footpath runs very close indeed to the boundary between Bournemouth and Poole - the brick wall on the left forms the boundary. This segment is marked on Bournemouth Borough's definitive rights of way map as footpath A05, but it also seems to be mapped as part of Poole footpath 63. The path turns left here, to run behind the back gardens of the houses, while the boundary continues in a straight line. This is thus the crossing point from Bournemouth into Poole, and Poole path 63 continues into Branksome Dene Chine. See Image for a view along the path from further behind us, and Image for the opposite view, from Poole into Bournemouth.
