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.

Welcome to Sibford
Invitations to the Welcome to Sibford Party will shortly be going out to those who have moved into the village since January 1977. We hope to miss no-one out: if you fit into this category, and no invitation is forthcoming, then please contact Dame Anne Stephens (452).
Gave Johns and de Trafford leave to dine out and go to theatre afterwards. I resumed duties at New College this evening; very hoarse, but no sore throat.
1/50 Detail from plaque on south wall of the dovecote at Yew Tree House, Sibford Gower. The inscription is no longer legible, but it was recorded by M. Dix in 1937 as "Aspicis ut veniant et candida tecta columbae, accipiat nullas sordida turris ave. J.H. 1728”. It translates as "You see how the doves come to a white dwelling, how an unclean tower harbours no birds." and comes from Ovid Tristia 1.9.1. "J.H." is Joseph Hopkyns.
