NOTES

 

1. Please remember that although you have the right to walk on Public Rights of Way the land you cross often belongs to the farming community.

     - For farmers the fields are a food production area. Please treat them as such.

2. For most footpaths and tracks you need to be able to cross stiles and open & close heavy gates.

3. Good footwear and a drink are a good idea.

4. Please report any problem areas to the parish council:- 01963 370527

5. In spring and early summer cows with calves can be very dangerous!  Farmers would usually prefer you to detour around the field containing cows and calves and join the path further on.  If you are accompanied by a dog the cattle will become extremely agitated.  If a dog wanders off out of sight and does not come when called, then it should be walked on a lead.
