Roman Road in Broadstone
To the left is Corfe Hills school playing field, to the right dense housing in Corfe Mullen. Just to the right is the aggar of the Roman Road. This is near the end of our 7 mile walk, and my feet are killing me.

Broadstone, Roman road
From Lake, by Hamworthy, to Badbury, and then on to Bath. Part of the ager embankment can be seen in places, but at this time of year the route is overgrown. Much of the route in Poole is now a bridleway.

Broadstone: postbox № BH18 212, Lancaster Drive
This small postbox is right on the Poole borough boundary, the boundary being Roman Road, in which we are stood. The Roman Road sign in front of us is an East Dorset one; the Lancaster Drive signs beyond are those of Poole Borough.
The BH21 (Wimborne) area is to the left, with BH18 (Broadstone, part of Poole borough but postally separate) to the right. The postal boundary does not quite match the borough one all the way down Roman Road, thanks to short culs-de-sac off to the west which are obviously better served from the east.
The box is emptied at 5:30 on weekday evenings and at 11:45 on Saturday mornings.

Alley in Corfe Mullen
At the end is an open grassy area. There used to be a kid's playground there,
until youths started playing there too, and the council had to remove the playground for children's safety.
