Full Description
The OS 3rd edn 25in map (1909) (1) showed an engineered route descending obliquely from the cliff top across the coastal cliff to the shore through an earthwork cutting. It replaced an earlier route a short distance to the E (MDO32899). The 4th edn map (1924) (2) showed a series of steps along its length and named the feature Portman Ravine. It was linked to a network of cliff-top walks on the seaward side of Boscombe Overcliff Drive. The 5th edn map (1947) (3) showed the lower part of the path replaced by a zig-zag path, descending to the recently constructed promenade.
