The little track is a public right of way, a byway open to all traffic (or B.O.A.T.), leading the short distance from Throop Road to the edge of the River Stour ahead. There is no onward access in either direction along the riverside, but the historical reason for the right of way appears to be that there was once a ford leading diagonally across the river to Pig Shoot Lane. A small channel has formed on the main, walkable gravel part of the path just here, emptying out into the Stour shortly ahead. See Image for the view towards us from the far end, and Image for the next view along the path behind us, with links to further photos along the route.
