Taken looking east from the bridge over the motorway just south of the Chilworth Research Centre. The slip road to the left leads to the M3, the usual route for container lorries heading out of the docks at Southampton.

Dist:0.1km<br/>From Chilworth Drove. "An exciting development of only eight luxury apartments set in 3 acres of gardens" says the noticeboard. Built by Banner Homes. This building occupies the site formerly known as Chilworth Tower which has been demolished. I assume it was originally part of Chilworth Tower Farm which is just north of this. Although quite close to the M27 motorway I found it was quiet here, possibly because the motorway is in a cutting.

Dist:0.3km<br/>An example of something that is poorly illustrated on OS 1:25,000 scale Explorer maps, due to the failure to distinguish between metalled and unmetalled surfaces. From the map you'd think the lane continues straight ahead; it doesn't, but the footpath does.
