Walking in the Parish

Report on the great progress on making Public Rights of Way more accessible in the parish

In November 2016 the Parish Council (PC) endorsed a Baseline Survey of the Public Rights of Way (PROW) in the parish and adopted a Maintenance Plan for Public Rights of Way (PROW).  Since then, an extensive programme of improvement has been undertaken.  This Report No. 5 reflects this and provides a revised record of the current condition of the footpaths at the end of the financial year 2022-23. Please click on this link for the full report.  PROW Survey No. 6 Update March.2024

We have created a series of walks for people to enjoy within the Parish, which have all been updated in May 2023.  They are available below.  If you would like to contribute a walk for others to use, please submit this via the Clerk and once checked, we will add it to this site.    Hope that this helps you choose the right walk!

David Herrod (vice chair of the Parish Council in 2000) produced two Jubilee walks which roughly cover the boundary of the parish.  These were updated in May 2023 by John Smart, The Parish Footpaths Officer.  New boundary stones were also installed in several places.  The information board, position of new boundary stones and the two walks are shown below.

We have a hedge trimmer to help with the maintenance of footpaths.  You must read and sign the User documentation and read the User manual before using the hedge trimmer.

Any feedback on the walks is most welcome and can be given via the Clerk.

This is the most up to date map of all the footpaths in the Parish.
