Kilkivan Lane in the suburb of Broomfield, Christchurch

Kilkivan Lane in Broomfield – Named after Kilkivan graveyard near Campbeltown, Kintyre Peninsula, Argyll, Scotland.In Stage 6 and 7 of the Kintyre Estates subdivision, where streets are named after names and features in the locality of Kintyre in Scotland. Named in 2015.

A small amount of information from the library website. It was a narrow private lane and I often don’t walk these types of streets but I walked this one. I thought there might be an entrance to Broomfield Common but there wasn’t one. None of the houses stood out for me. With a street named after a cemetery I had to google it. Kilkivan means Kevin’s Church after St Kevin of Glendalough in Ireland. I have added Kilkivan cemetery to my travel wish list.
