We look along this short public footpath from Bower Road as it arrives on the wooded fringes of Strouden public open space.

Broad Avenue is a suburban street which follows the course of a historic path, before the suburbs were built. The historical path continues ahead as a public footpath, K48, while another footpath, K18, also leads ahead from here to Wordsworth Avenue. Vehicles here just turn the bend into Normanhurst Avenue, which heads to our immediate right. See Image for a photo just along the path ahead, with links to further pictures along both footpaths.

Looking along the start of public footpath K48 (left), which is the historic route of what is now Broad Avenue at the southern end (just behind us) and Castle Gate Close at the northwest end - this referring to a time before these suburbs of the town were built. Meanwhile, the wider track to the right is footpath K18 leading to Wordsworth Avenue and a modern path towards Bradpole Road. See: Image for the view towards us from path K48 ahead; Image for the next view on the path K18, right (each with links to further pictures on the route); and Image for the view to here from the end of Broad Avenue, behind us.
