SZ1195 : Holdenhurst: Holdenhurst Village Road
near to Throop, Bournemouth, Great Britain
Holdenhurst: Holdenhurst Village Road
This road has recently been renamed Holdenhurst Village Road, having previously been without the 'Village'.
The reason is that Holdenhurst Road, which ran from Bournemouth town centre to this point, is now cut off about a mile southwest – the section from the town is a busy, major road, whereas this part is a country lane that leads only to Holdenhurst Village. This had caused problems with motorists using satellite navigation, who found themselves in the pleasant but dead-end village, and if they were in anything large could not turn round!
In the distance are SZ1195 : Holdenhurst: Vicarage Cottages.
