Not the nicest footpath
Image: © Des Blenkinsopp Taken: 21 Aug 2019
This path is a short cut between two roads which don't have much pedestrian traffic. Still shown as a track on the map, the public footpath around Thornford Park Hospital is now a narrow strip along a high security fence. Beyond this point it gets very overgrown and clearly not many people come along here. The notice is intimidating, but doesn't specifically say no entry down the path. To be fair, the route isn't blocked, someone's made an effort with the gravel surface and you can still get all the way along. I get the feeling that the hospital would prefer it if the path wasn't here though.
