He has asked that those using the woods obey the spirit and the letter of the Government restrictions on activity in public. 

Whether your daily form of exercise is walking, running, riding…

Village Walk Update

Due to the latest Corona Virus advice the walk at Barford St Martin has been cancelled.

However, since exercise is still recommended it should be OK to walk, so long as we all keep 6 feet apart.

There will therefore be a group of us meeting outside the Village Hall at 10:30am on Monday for an impromptu unplanned walk.
