Dist:0.2km<br/>View east near the end of this cul-de-sac. Elgin Rd is a long residential road that runs east from Sandbanks Rd In Lower Parkstone.Although shown on the map as continuing east past this point it can be seen that the road terminates at a metal barrier. Beyond the barrier there is little more than a muddy track through the woods.
