Cellars Way in Yaldhurst – Named after the wine cellar with its association with the production of cognac. In the Delamain subdivision. Named in 2007.

A small amount of information from the library website. None of the houses stood out for me and most had immaculate lawns with no flowers or gardens. I had to walk on the road here as the footpath had trees in the middle of it every few metres. Also cars were parked on the footpath.

Furlong St in Yaldhurst and nothing on library website. This street is probably part of the Noble subdivision because the name of the street is connected to race horses. Most houses are built between 2020 and 2022 but there are still houses being built here. I was surprised that there was a footpath on both sides of the street. There is a padlocked gate at the end of the street preventing people from getting into the paddock and there was at least one cow in the paddock. There was one house at the end of the street that looked like it was possibly an older house being rebuilt but couldn’t find any information to support this. As I was walking along I did wonder if the street measured a furlong but I am not going to go back with a tape measure.

Reins Lane in Yaldhurst and possibly too new to be on library website or not included because it is a private lane. The houses were built in 2020 and nothing stood out for me. The street led to the playground in Champagne Reserve. It is likely to be part of the Noble subdivision because the name of the street has a race horse connection.

Gallop Lane in Yaldhurst – In the Noble Village subdivision developed on the former Applefields land in Yaldhurst Road. The property has historical connections with the breeding and racing of standard breed horses. Named in 2011.

A small amount of information from the library website. I was surprised that this street was on the library website as the 6 houses here were only built last year. The nearby street Trainers Lane wasn’t on the library website yet the houses there are slightly older.

The street is too new to have any character and I thought that I could get into Champagne Reserve from this street but there was a big ditch in my way.

Trainers Lane in Yaldhurst and it is too new to be on library website as the houses here were built between 2020 and 2022.

It is probably part of the Noble subdivision as all of the streets in that subdivision have names connected to the horse racing industry.

A very narrow street with a footpath but it was impossible to actually walk on the footpath because of all the cars parked on it. There were only 6 houses. I ended up walking on a walkway in Champagne Reserve that ran parallel to the street.

Strone Close in Broomfield and nothing on library website. I was surprised that there wasn’t anything on the library website as the houses here were built between 2015 and 2018. The street also would have been part of the Kintyre Estates subdivision. It is most likely named after a village in Scotland that is on the shore of Loch Long.

The street ends at an entrance to Broomfield Common and nothing stood out for me. The footpath was on only one side of the street.

Glenbarr Lane in Broomfield – Named after Glenbarr, a village in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It lies on the west coast of the Kintyre peninsula.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. Only 6 houses here built in 2017 and 2018. The houses are only on side of the street and Broomfield Common is on the other side.

Ciaran Close in Broomfield- Named after Loch Ciaran in Kintyre, 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. Only 10 houses here built between 2018 and 2022. The street leads to Broomfield Common. The only house that stood out for me was one that had a large number of white garden statues and I couldn’t get a decent photo of them. They were so white that they almost blinded you.

Ardnave Lane – Named after Ardnave Point, a coastal promontory on the northwest of Islay, a Scottish island.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 and the library website didn’t say which suburb this street is in. The valuation website puts the street into the suburb of Broomfield but it could very easily also be in Yaldhurst.

There was a footpath and the developers have managed to squeeze 16 houses onto this street and they were mostly built in 2018 and 2019. No photos and my first thought was the song Little Boxes by Pete Seeger. Some of you will be old enough to know what I am talking about.

Jarnac Blvd in Yaldhurst – Named after Jarnac in France. Jarnac is near the cognac area of France. In the Delamain subdivision. Named in 2007.

A small amount of amount of information from the library website. Don’t know why it says it is near Cognac area of France as it has producers of cognac here including the French part of the Delamain family. Jarnac is a commune in the Charente department of France. The best equivalent that I can think of to describe a French commune is the Christchurch District Council. There is probably better examples than this but can’t think of them off the top of my head. The most famous event in Jarnac in France was the Battle of Jarnac in 1569 in the French War of Religion.

Most houses on the street were built in 2010 and none really stood out for me but at least many of them had gardens. Cognac Reserve is partly on this street. I ended up chatting with a woman who knew all about geocaching. She doesn’t do geocaching but did the Otago Rail Trail with a geocacher. No photos but it seemed like a pleasant street to live on.
