On Snaplands Avenue, Bearwood.

Shapland Avenue is a residential road in Bearwood, in the northern outskirts of Bournemouth. An electricity pylon stands tall over the road.

This public footpath joins the main A341 Magna Road, along which we see a small red van travelling, with Bear Cross Avenue behind us. It meanders through a grass clearing between the houses, coinciding with the course of overhead power lines. See Image for the view towards us from the roadside ahead, and Image for the view behind us, with links to further photos along this and a continuing footpath.

Finchfield Avenue is a residential road in Bear Cross, on the northern outskirts of Bournemouth. The housing here comprises bungalows. The signpost to the side of the road indicates a number of destinations which can be reached by bicycle, thus indicating that Finchfield Avenue forms part of a network of cycling routes in Bournemouth and the surrounding area.

This short public footpath (13 metres in length) is really just a natural connecting path between the pavements of Magna Road (foreground) and Finchfield Avenue, which heads left from here at a 45° angle to Magna Road. The roads do not meet to our immediate right; Finchfield Avenue becomes a service road for a couple of hundred metres, running parallel with Magna Road and with the grass separation continuing. See Image for the view along the path from the other end.

A small parade of shops which has no doubt thrived more in years gone by; it includes a newsagent on the far corner, a dental practice and a couple of vacant looking premises this end.

This postbox is outside Image Despite the possible suggestion, there was never a post office here.

Looking across the main A348 Magna Road along this path to Bear Cross Avenue. Its course, through a clearing between the houses, coincides with the path of overhead power lines, including through to another path beyond. See Image for a closer view of the path, viewed from opposite.
