Valeways Walks March 2024
FOOTPATH – WENVOE 41
The footpath between Vennwood Close and Wrinston Farm was closed at the start of this year after the footbridge across the ditch leading onto the old railway route collapsed. A new bridge, with gates, has now been installed making the route safe for use again.
NEW KISSING GATES
Recently, five Valeways volunteers joined with 3 Public Rights of Way officers to install 3
new kissing gates, one to replace a severely damaged wooden stile, the other two on a newly created route around Greave Farm, Wenvoe instead of through its yard and buildings. The work involved removing an old stile, digging new holes for the new gates, the 3- part gate assembly and securing with concrete. Then finishing off with some landscaping, ensuring the boundary was stock-proof and finally waymarking the new structures and surrounding indicators to make walkers aware of the new route. A job well done and enjoyed by all.
