Honeybourne Crescent, BOURNEMOUTH, BH6 4JD

The kerb of Verwood Crescent opens out like a side turning here, at the point where this public footpath to Ariel Drive starts. It is a short grass-flanked path. See Image for a photo of the path as it descends just ahead.

Looking up this short public footpath from the dead end of Ariel Drive - the path follows an extension of the course of Ariel Drive, up the little bank to Verwood Crescent. See Image for the view towards us from midway up the hill, and Image for a wider view from behind us.

This short public footpath leads down from Verwood Crescent to the dead end of Ariel Drive, which we see just ahead. See Image for the view from behind us in Verwood Crescent, and Image for the uphill view from the road ahead.

This is the start of the public right of way leading to Branders Close. It is, according to all relevant maps (including data from the Local Authority's definitive map), designated as a public bridleway. However, it has a No Cycling sign at this end, which would be appropriate if this were a public footpath rather than a public bridleway. The red perimeter circle of the sign has faded almost to non-existence and is on a substantially rusting pole, suggesting that it has been there very many years. See Image] for the next photo along the bridleway, with links to further photos along the route.

This short bridleway is more footpath-like and it runs between the dead end of Branders Close (behind us) and Thornbury Road. We see it as it approaches the latter, with some green utility box ahead on the grass abutting the path. See Image for the next view along the path ahead, and Image for the next behind us, with links to further photos along the route.

Looking along the southern end of this short public bridleway from Branders Close, as it arrives onto Thornbury Road. Belfield Road is directly opposite - well, a yard or two off-straight. See Image] for the view towards us from the end of the bridleway, and Image for the next view on the path behind us, with links to further pictures along the route.

This short bridleway is more footpath-like and it runs between the dead end of Branders Close (behind us) and Thornbury Road.

See Image for the next view along the path ahead, and Image for the next behind us - each with links to further photos along the route.

The road comes to an abrupt end but a public footpath continues up the little bank to Verwood Crescent. See Image for a view from the bottom of the footpath, and links to further pictures on the path.

This short public bridleway leads from the dead end of Branders Close to Thornbury Road, and as can be seen here it resembles a footpath more than a bridleway. See Image for the next view along the bridleway, with links to further photos along the route.
