On the soft misty morning of Saturday 9th October, fifteen intrepid walkers set off at 7am from Pudding Lane, to Beat the Bounds of Ash Parish by walking the boundary of the parish. A wonderful day of walking, meeting new people, great conversation and a feeling of accomplishment. Keeping alive a tradition that stretches back many years, and today reminds us how the land in our parish is varied, beautiful and productive. Have a look at the new page Local Information – Beating the Bounds and the photos and video about the day.
