Heather Drive signs Lots of signs at the entrance to Heather Drive, a private road (cul-de-sac) off Onslow Road. The top sign denotes the route is a public footpath, though is very faded. The next sign gives the speed limit as 20mph. The next is a road sign of the name "HEATHER DRIVE". Underneath is a sign showing that the road is a dead end and a private road: "PRIVATE ROAD RESIDENT PARKING ONLY". The bottom sign says "CCTV IN USE" with an image of a camera - I wonder if the CCTV is GDPR compliant!

Entrance to Heather Drive A white gate is at the entrance (and exit - though that is to the right) to Heather Drive. The road is the route of a public footpath. The houses have names rather than numbers, are very large and generally in an Ascot style.

Public footpath off Heather Drive A public footpath with a gate for vehicular access at the end of Heather Drive, a cul-de-sac off Onslow Road. Despite the small sign on the gate saying it is private and that there is no public right of way, there is a public right of way here with a public footpath leading into the woods to West Drive. I do hope walkers will not be deterred by whoever owns the land.

Royal Berkshire Hotel Once owned by the Spencer Family (Winston Spencer Churchill) the building was later used as a School for the blind and since the early 1970's has been a hotel. An ideal billet for the Ascot races or Sunningdale Golf.
