This straight path behind us, along with the modern-day stretch of road continuing eventually behind us, was one of the original tracks when Throop was a rural area. In the 1980s the vast housing estate was built and the 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, although its extent has been truncated at both ends. See Image for the view behind us onto Chesildene Drive, and Image for the next view on the byway ahead - each with links to further photos along the path.
