Townsend: footpath K45 alongside the Spur Road
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 8 Jan 2017
This public footpath, nowadays marked out as a shared foot/cycle route, runs for 500m or so alongside the main A338 and is essentially a replacement for this segment of Holdenhurst Road, which was lost to make way for the dual carriageway. Holdenhurst Road is still one of the town's main routes but no longer reaches Holdenhurst village as it originally did. Here, we look eastward along the path and can see the main A338, known as the Spur Road, through the trees to the right. We are just alongside the point where the northbound on-slip starts to join the main carriageway. See Image for the next view on the path ahead, and Image for the next view behind us - each with links to further photos along the route.
