Dist:0.2km<br/>On East Howe Lane just South of the junction with Wimborne Road. The church doesn't seem to have a web presence, but from its name, I presume it's Evangelical.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Looking down the southern end of Horsham Avenue, towards the main shopping street in Kinson, Wimborne Road. The postbox is a large one.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Leybourne Avenue is a busy suburban road, marked in yellow on the map and apparently coming to an end at the junction of East Howe Lane behind us. However, it continues here, detached although accessible on foot. Vehicles have to go via Long Road to get here. The area immediately in front of us, with the tyre marks, is actually grassed while the tarmacked carriageway finished just beyond the greenery on the left.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This car dealership is located on a site that was formerly a petrol station. It is close to the junction with Ashridge Avenue.

Dist:0.3km<br/>As the sign says in smaller print, actually in Northbourne. Doesn't seem to have a web presence, but according to the sign as well as services, there are groups for healing, women, wives, parents & toddlers, & guides.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Sign at entrance to the Royal Oak. Signwriter's error or reference to a grumpy landlord? The latter, I hope.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Small 2009 Good Beer Guide-listed pub sandwiched between shopping parade, car park & car dealer. Rectangular bar to back, separate bar & lounge. Good range of cask ales at my visit: Isle of Purbeck Best, Piddle Yogi, Sharp's Doom Bar, Yeovil Rugby. For some very mixed customer reviews, see http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/28/2860/Royal_Oak/Kinson

Dist:0.3km<br/>Behind the bungalows of Leybourne Avenue, a mist across the valley of the River Stour is picked out in the orange glow of street lights.

Dist:0.3km<br/>We look along the northern end of Long Road (which is not long but probably named after someone named Long) at the tail end of the very cold spell which has lasted all December. The roads are hazardous and the pavements even more so. It comes out onto a part of Leybourne Avenue, which loops around a grassed area. This part of Leybourne Avenue is separate from the main, busy section which is marked yellow on the map, just to the east. A footpath connects the two parts.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Looking across the staggered junction of East Howe Lane, which is to the left and also continues to the right although not in a straight line. Leybourne Avenue is behind us, and continues beyond the footpath visible on the right. The snow has lain around these parts for a couple of weeks, the most recent snowfall having happened on Monday. This is possibly the nearest Bournemouth will get to a white Christmas.

Dist:0.3km<br/>I know which one I'd rather frequent!
