IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Hengist Park, Wick Lane, BOURNEMOUTH, BH6 4LE

This section of Wick Lane is closed to motor vehicles but remains a bridleway. A solitary daffodil is in flower on the bank, while the mobile home park can be seen across the road.

This public bridleway is marked on Ordnance Survey maps as a byway open to all traffic (or B.O.A.T.) so I presume the designation has changed at some point over the last 20 years. It heads from Thornbury Road to the dead end of Wick Lane, and is realistically the original continuation of Wick Lane when it was a rural track. Here, we see it as it heads north towards Wick Lane, passing three static mobile homes on a park containing several dozen. See Image for the next view on the bridleway ahead, and Image for the next view behind us - each with links to further photos on the route.
