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 along the path from its eastern end, where the original Holdenhurst Road recommences behind us, now called Holdenhurst Village Road in these days of satnavs to avoid confusion with the main segment in town. See Image for the view towards us from just ahead, and Image for the next view on the path ahead, with links to further photos along the route.
