This public footpath, nowadays marked out as a shared foot/cycle route, runs for 500m or so alongside the main A338 and is essentially a replacement for this segment of Holdenhurst Road, which was lost to make way for the dual carriageway. Holdenhurst Road is still one of the town's main routes but no longer reaches Holdenhurst village as it originally did. Here, we look along the path just as two dog walkers, with five dogs between them, stop to chat about a quarter of the way along the path. See Image for the next view on the path ahead, and Image for the next view behind us - each with links to further photos along the route.

Holdenhurst Road is still one of the town's main routes but no longer reaches Holdenhurst village as it originally did.

Holdenhurst Road is still one of the town's main routes but no longer reaches Holdenhurst village as it originally did. Here, we look across the path from a steep bank separating it from a public green space. The view extends across the A338 Spur Road at the point where a slip road joins the main carriageway (see the thick white markings at the extreme right-hand edge of the picture).
