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.

Did you know? ...
… The area by the pond in Sibford Gower used to be known as Pond End. Could this mean that Bond’s End Lane is in fact a misspelling?
… The Sibfords were once under a great sea. Fossils found in the garden of Mulberry House, Sibford Ferris, during building work in 1986 have been dated to the Middle Jurassic period, making them between 170-180 million years old. They are of marine origin, two are bivalve marine molluscs and one is a sea urchin. These creatures burrow into the sea bed, suggesting that 180 million years ago Sibford was under water.
