We leave the Village Hall car park on foot or by car at 9.30am sharp to do a circuit of approximately two hours. You are advised, therefore, to get to the village hall by 9.25am latest. We aim to be back at the Village Hall by noon.
Dogs are welcome provided that they are put on a lead when requested. Walking boots (or wellies in wet weather) are recommended but not compulsory. Walking poles may also be beneficial. Some routes include stiles.
If you are leaving your car at the village hall to complete the walk, please park it on the road outside rather than in the car park.

Star over Sibford
The crib in Barley Close has been delighting passers-by again this Christmas. It was made by Keith Hicks some five years ago and, after the ravages of recent years’ storms, now sports a new, brilliantly shining star and a re-thatched roof. It is seen at its best when lit up in the evenings.
