Number: K40
Designation: Public footpath
Length: 32m
Route: Throop Road [SZ 1123 9574] to borough boundary [SZ 1124 9577]

Number: K41
Designation: Byway open to all traffic
Length: 51m
Route: Throop Road [SZ 1146 9560] to River Stour [SZ 1148 9566]

(heading off to the right)
Number: K42
Designation: Public footpath
Length: 16m
Route: Cooper Dean Drive [SZ 1182 9398] to Queen's Park [SZ 1182 9396]
Map:
Commentary: Short path providing corner-cut to start of path alongside Wessex Way.
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.)

Route: 29 Throop Road [SZ 1235 9440] to Holdenhurst Village Road [SZ 1268 9464]
Map:
Commentary:
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.
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.

Commentary: Course was roughly in line with the hedge/fence here, at the Castle Lane end:
