Sherston Walks

Beautifully produced guide to local footpaths in the Sherston area really shows what can be done...

Since its inception over two years ago the Sherston Footpath Group, which is a subcommittee of Sherston Parish Council, has been working hard on producing a new guide to local footpaths. Hundreds of hours of volunteer time have now resulted in the publication of the guide.

Not only does the guide include nine individual 4 page circular walks in shower proof seals but also a fascinating introduction to the parish and a trail around the village with its fine and interesting buildings.

In order to encourage as many residents and visitors as possible to enjoy the beautiful countryside surrounding Sherston the illustrated full colour guide has been priced by the parish council at cost - a very reasonable £4.99 . Copies are available from the Rattlebone Inn, Sherston Post Office Stores, Sherston Sunday Papers, Tucks Farm Shop and Luckington Post Office. Copies can also be sent by post – for details please contact Sarah Wood the Clerk to Sherston Parish Council on 01666 840351 or email This email address is being protected from spambots.

Thanks are due to all those who helped in producing the guide and to Wiltshire Council for kindly providing valuable assistance with OS map reproduction.

As it is more than 25 years since the parish council last produced such a publication it is hoped that sales will be brisk especially as the guide will make an excellent Christmas present for those with an interest in the area.
