Following on from the walks around the village prepared by David Cummings and published in May 2020 there is now a set of Heritage walks around the village. Hopefully these walks will provide a new perspective on the village and its surroundings in what continues to be difficult times.
Walk 1 The Boatman’s Tale; Walk 2 The Cavaliers Tale (Longer version); Walk 3 The Cavaliers Tale; Walk 4 The Canons Tale and Walk 5 The Littleton Township Trail
Each link will open in a new page so it can be printed or downloaded as required. Our thanks to David Cummings for compiling all of the walks.
Please be aware of the environment around you and follow the Countryside Code. In particular park without blocking gateways/drives, keep to the footpaths, respect agricultural land, leave gates as you find them and keep dogs under control (also bag dog poo and bin it properly).
