 Towards the end of Priory Road the route turns left onto Horseshoe Bridge, leaving the road just before the bridge crosses the railway line.From here, NCR 23 travels along a shared use boardwalk alongside the tidal section of the River Itchen, then leaves the boardwalk to pass through a small industrial area to reach Radcliffe Road, which it follows until it reaches the A3024 road in Northam.The cycle route crosses the dual carriageway A3024 and crosses the railway near the site of Northam railway station within view of St Mary's Stadium.
