Admiralty Road is a public right of way, number I07, designated as a Byway Open to All Traffic (or B.O.A.T.). This previously applied to the whole length of the road, but the road has been truncated now, just here, and the designation of the right of way truncated to a point some way behind us, according to recent mapping. Looking across Ferry Road, we can see a 'road-shaped' wedge of land, heading acutely to the left, with the obvious fence along the right-hand edge and a wire fence doing similar on the left-hand side, just to the right of the lamppost. It is not clear exactly to which properties the land now belongs, if any. See Image for the next view on the road behind, with links to further photos heading back to the part still designated a byway. See Image for a view from the next available part of the defunct course of the road ahead, with links to further photos in that direction. Meanwhile, Ferry Road is also a B.O.A.T. - see Image for the next view along that route.
