The driveway and churchyard path of the parish church of St. James the Greater form public footpath J09, cutting off the corner from King's Park to the main Christchurch Road. Here, we look down from the churchyard gate onto the final bit of path, leading down to King's Park Drive and the odd side turn of Spurgeon Road. (The zig-zag 'School Keep Clear' markings are there because the school is situated in the same grounds as the church, and this is a route used by pupils.) See Image for the view up the steps from the grass ahead, and Image for the next view on the path behind us, with links to further photos along the route.
