Hastings Road, BOURNEMOUTH, BH8 0HN

Lively sounding community church on Woodbury Avenue, near to Castlepoint. For details of its activities, see http://www.spc-church.org.uk/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1

This public bridleway runs around the edge of Castlepoint shopping centre and is the diverted route of the original Valley Road, which today would cut right through the shopping complex. We see it here coming out onto Woodbury Avenue at its southern end, darkly in the shadow of the shopping complex. This is photo 27 in a series of 28 views along Valley Road, one of the original routes in this rural part of Bournemouth. It is a public right of way, number K35, with a varied character. The northern part, from Throop Road, is a tarmacked and then gravel lane narrowing to a path onto Yeomans Way, classified as a byway open to all traffic. Its hitherto straight course once continued to the top of Woodbury Avenue near Castle Lane, but it was rerouted when the Hampshire Centre shopping complex was built in the mid-1960s and it now skirts round Castlepoint, the Hampshire Centre's successor, on a modern surface and comes out farther along Woodbury Avenue. This latter half is designated as a public bridleway. See Image for the previous photo in the series, and Image for the next.

Look quickly, and you would think they were bungalows, but most have dormers. Note different pitched roofs.
