Easton Common Hill, SALISBURY, SP5 1QD

This B&B has the good fortune to have brown tourist signs from the A30. You get a good welcome apparently if the gun carriage in the front garden is anything to go by. I do not have any vested interest in this establishment, just as an intrigued passer-by.

Pyramid top finial - 3 arms; by the UC road, in parish of Winterslow (Salisbury District), Middle Winterslow, crossroads at East of village. Surveyed Milestone Society National ID: WI_SU2532

These cottages are very close to the road: the red door does not appear to be used and door of the further cottage has been bricked up.

Look closely at the plan and you will see that the footpath crosses from Wiltshire into Hampshire at point B and back into Wiltshire 54 metres later at point A, the county boundary going roughly north then east. It has been discovered that the footpath is on the Wiltshire definitive map (footpath Winterslow FP13) but does not appear on the Hampshire definitive map. This notice, under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, proposes a footpath modification order to add the missing bit to the Hampshire map, as West Tytherley FP18. This is important because otherwise the footpath will eventually be lost as a public right of way, but not if it is on the definitive map. The Countryside Rights Of Way Act 2003 put a limit of the year 2026 by which time the definitive maps will not accept any more changes. So the moral is, get those public rights of way checked and pester your local council if they are not on the definitive map. The Ordnance Survey maps (at all the main scales) show this footpath, including the Hampshire bit, so there is no guarantee that because it is on the OS map it is correct. The context of the bit of footpath this plan refers to can be seen here Image] I also have a photo of the page of text accompanying this map on the site, but it would be unreadable at Geograph scale, therefore I suggest that if anyone is interested in finding out more (using this as an example) they contact me.

This is the section of "missing" footpath in Hampshire referred to in detail in this photo Image] The path goes from Wiltshire into Hampshire here, for 54 metres, then back into Wiltshire but the Hampshire bit is not on the definitive map, thus a notice proposing a modification order.

Residential development here seems suburban rather than rural.

Part of the Roman road from Winchester (Venta) to Old Sarum (Sorviodvnvm) that is traceable virtually throughout. It will remain longer than the telephone box which is one of those scheduled for withdrawal.

Tempting, but this is not the footpath, which is a byway that stays with the woodland to the right.
