Lympsham Guide to Public Footpaths

The Parish Council produced this walking guide especially with children in mind, hoping to encourage families to go out and enjoy “off-roading” in a real sense and enjoy the wildlife we don’t see in our gardens but is so close at hand.

The surfaces of Lympsham and Eastertown footpaths mostly pass over flat open fields with rhyne bridge crossings, mostly stiled and hand-railed. In autumn, winter and spring these fields are muddy and often waterlogged. Generally, the fields are meadow and pasture and often contain sheep, herds of dairy cows, heifers or bullocks, with the occasional bull. Unfortunately, none of the footpaths is suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs.

Walking these footpaths with some regularity is important to retain our access to the countryside - Use it or loose it!
