B3079 Cadnam - Landford

Route

Approaching Cadnam Interchange on the B3079

The B3079 is a short rural B-road in the New Forest.

It starts at Cadnam Interchange at the western end of the M27, for which this is junction 1, and heads west through the forest to Brook, where the B3078 branches off, before continuing northwards.

The B3079 goes through Bramshaw before changing county and then bypasses the village of Nomansland. After crossing Landford Common it goes through the village of Landford itself. The road ends at the far end of the village at a triangular junction on the A36.

History

In 1922 the B3079 started in Brook; the section east to Cadnam was the B3078.

In 1935 the road east of Brook swapped number to become part of the B3079. The road was extended slightly further via a multiplex with the A31 along the former B3077 to reach the A337.

The ex-B3077 was declassified soon afterwards (and is now a dirt track closed to traffic), giving the B3079 its current route. The eastern end was altered slightly with the building of the M27.
