We are looking along Careys Road, which forms byway open to all traffic (or B.O.A.T.) number K25. The property on the right is a semi-detached property, one of a handful of dwellings along the road - some named, some numbered seemingly randomly in the 50s. See Image for the next view along the road ahead, and Image for the next view behind us.

Cassel is the name of the bungalow on the right but is almost too generously named on the 1:25,000 map to refer only to that. I am not sure if the garden to the immediate right belongs to it - there is a wall between them but it doesn't obviously belong to another house. We are looking along Careys Road, which is a byway open to all traffic (or B.O.A.T.), number K25.

This historical public footpath in Muscliff arrives on the more major Careys Road, a byway open to all traffic. It is seen off to the right from Careys Road here: Image and seen heading towards us across the modern gate here Image Behind us, it continues between the back gardens of houses on a large modern estate, and yet has been allowed to retain its rural feel.

Throop is one of the very last villagey enclaves of Bournemouth. This housing development is now about 10 years old and has been fairly sympathetically done.

A view along this historic path, from near its northern end, as it approaches the modern housing estate which straddles it.
