Commentary: Short path providing corner-cut to start of path alongside Wessex Way.
SZ1193 : Queen’s Park: footpath K42 from Cooper Dean Drive by Chris Downer
SZ1193 : Queen’s Park: footpaths K42 and K43 don’t quite meet by Chris Downer
Footpath K42 is the short spur to the left, cutting the corner off for pedestrians but off limits to cyclists.

Footpath K43 is the similar route ahead, but only the last 26 metres, which brings it up from the road to roughly level with the tree. The only reason I can think for this, is that the land towards us from the end of the 26m is officially part of Queen's Park and therefore public anyway.

(There are public rights of way in other parts of the borough which stop when they reach public parks and open spaces.)

Paved route alongside the main A338, approximating to the historical Holdenhurst Road prior to the main road being built in the early 1960s. Marked out as a shared foot/cycle path.

SZ1294 : Townsend: view across footpath K45 and the Spur Road by Chris Downer
Holdenhurst Road is a major road from the town centre towards Holdenhurst village, which now comes to an end at King's Park, on the other side of the A338 about half a mile south of the Cooper Dean roundabout. The road restarts at the approach to Holdenhurst village, and this path provides access to pedestrians (and these days, cyclists) from Cooper Dean alongside the dual carriageway.
