The straight path ahead of us, continuing also behind us, was one of the original tracks when Throop was a rural area. In the 1980s the vast housing estate was built and this first stretch of Chesildene Drive was borrowed, but it then swings around to the north while still carrying the name. The path is still designated as a public right of way - a byway open to all traffic (or B.O.A.T.), from the start just ahead of us to the (also truncated) far end on Chesildene Avenue. See Image for the view towards us from by the fence (and thus behind us along the continuing road), with links to further photos along the path.
