Geograph - photograph every grid square

A short path behind us runs alongside the river Stour, as an alternative to the main course of the Stour Valley Way, which we see the other side of the gate. A sign on the tree to the left ominously warns: PRIVATE PROPERTY, KEEP OUT, BEWARE OF THE BULL - it refers to the field on the left.

This is photo 17 in a series of 43 along the length of public footpath M15, Bournemouth's longest public right of way and the only one over 2km in length. It forms part of the Stour Valley Way long-distance path, although it doesn't see all that much of the Stour. It consists of a tarmacked lane at the Throop end and a good quality gravel path for the majority of its course - it has been improved in the last few years to make it wheelchair accessible and a shared route for cyclists. See SZ1096 : Throop: the Stour Valley Way heads east for the previous photo and SZ1096 : Throop: access to the riverside from footpath M15 for the next - these provide links to the other photos all along the route to each end.
