Westbourne: footpath A09 leaves the Upper Gardens
We look along this public footpath to Surrey Road, from the Upper Gardens, whose southern edge is termed a Greenway - a shared foot and cycle path (hence the sign, with its green G symbol).
See
Image for a view midway along the path, up the steps which can just be seen in the distance.

Boardwalk, Bournemouth Upper Gardens
Ground to the west of the Bourne Stream is boggy, and damp-loving native wild flowers are encouraged. To allow visitors close access, this boardwalk has been built. Photo taken after autumn tidy-up.
