Chinnor Parish Footpath

You may have noticed that things are really starting to move on our local footpath network. Besides all of the damaged stiles that have already been replaced by nice new easy to use gates, there are a couple of major projects in the pipeline. All of the decrepit stiles around Emmington are waiting the installation of a whole new set of gates. 

Unfortunately, we had planned to have these installed last year but owing to the series of lock downs and shielding, the volunteers from the Chiltern Society have not yet been able to do their amazing job. The good news is that they are now on the list for this year. 

We have also recently received a  generous grant from Trust for Oxfordshire’s Environment (TOE) to make major improvements to the network around Henton and running up to the County Boundary at Forty Green.

We are delighted to see many of our fellow villagers out enjoying some of the awesome local walks and really hope that things continue once all of the restrictions have been eased. 

Rest assured that all of your feedback to the Oxfordshire County Council website reporting issues are looked into and they are all on an action list for necessary remedial work. 

A reminder that a series of 4 local circular walks can be found here.

Chinnor Parish Walks Series No 1 Leaflet

We are delighted that the first of the Chinnor Parish walk leaflets produced by Greening Chinnor with sponsorship from Chinnor Parish Council and support from Chinnor and Thame Friends of the Earth has now been published.

Copies can be found at the Parish Office or be downloaded here. This first walk, which takes in Emmington, will be the first of a series of 5 or 6. Watch this space for details of the next walk leaflet which we are sure will be familiar to some of our fellow villagers.
