Looking along this modern housing estate road, whose southern pavement now forms part of public footpath U10 towards Ringwood Road. The original course of the public right of way was a dead-straight run abutting a fence the far side of the playing field (still walkable today; see Image), but with the recent development being built, a paved, shared foot/cycle path has been installed and the public right of way is shown as that meandering route on recent right of way maps, followed by this left-hand pavement of Oakmead Gardens. Two lads can just be seen playing football far left; the metal goalpost might just be discerned, too. See Image for the next view on the path ahead, with links to further photos along the route of the public footpath, and Image for view along Oakmead Gardens from the end behind us.
