Introduction
The photograph on this page of Townsend: the tarmac of footpath K47 fizzles out by Chris Downer as part of the Geograph project.
The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.

The pavement on the right leads only to the frontages of some bungalows. Meanwhile, a public right of way, footpath K47, heads directly ahead to cut across the broad triangular grass area and meet Throop Road. The course of the right of way appears to be mapped dead-straight, through what is now a car park for the distant block of flats. There is a tarmac surface at this end, as can be seen, but this fizzles out midway across the grass. See Image for the wider view from behind us, and Image for the view towards us from ahead.
