Riverside Walk tree down… and out

This week the heavy showers after weeks of drought brought a tree is down across the Riverside Walk “wet loop” behind Tip Field. Undeterred by the size of the task, the next morning an HDC countryside warden team set-to with chainsaws and the path was soon clear and usable again.

Now farm users are just waiting for a large branch to be cleared from Pedlars Way off-site up Denne Hill, this one being investigated by the West Sussex County Council rangers.

#sharechesworthfarm: dog walkers are reminded of the Countryside Code: “When you take your dog into the outdoors, always ensure it does not disturb wildlife, farm animals, horses or other people by keeping it under effective control.” More details can be found at Countryside Code

Horse-riders and cyclists please keep to the bridleways. These cross the site E-W or N-S. If you are on a diagonal field path, you are definitely not on the right track.
