The straight path behind us, along with the visible stretch of road ahead, 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.), number K23, from the start just ahead of us to the (also truncated) far end behind us on Chesildene Avenue. See Image for the view towards us from ahead, and Image for the next view on the byway behind us, with links to further photos along the path.
