will be most welcome to the
Paths
Group who are planning to prepare detailed advice on circular walks.
*
Take special care when rejoining and using country roads
*
Make no unnecessary noise
These maps have been produced with support from the
Parish
Council so that every-
one can have an up-to-date picture of where they can walk.
So why not get out there?
There are good walks from every part of the village and
fi
ne views in all directions!
However, do please follow the advice of the
Country
Code.
The
Parish
Paths
Group soon identifi
ed some priorities which the
County
Council were able to take on, and quite a few new
fi
ngerposts now show where paths leave the roads; also paths to the
East of
Church
Street have been much improved, and some new direction arrows, on white discs, have appeared on stiles and gateposts!
Landowners have been very helpful in this work and other improvements are in hand.

Take your litter home
One
fi
nding from the
Parish
Plan survey in
2004
was that many people wanted more information about the footpaths in and around the village and were keen to have greater access to the surrounding countryside.
A
working party was formed to survey the network of paths and to promote improvements.
