This straight path, 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. Ahead, it approaches the other end, on a modern cul-de-sac named Chesildene Avenue, where again the original route used to extend to the junction visible in the very background. 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 as described above. See Image for a view towards us from the road ahead, and Image for the next view on the path behind us, with links to further photos along the path.
