Mancetter Parish has, since 1998, considerably improved the Rights of Way in the parish. Mancetter is a "stiles free" parish. All paths either have footpath kissing gates, simple pedestrian gates or bridle gates.

Yellow topped Signposts are installed at the roadside and where there is a change of direction along a path there are additional waymarker posts to indicate the route or to act as confirmation of the route. These are also yellow topped.

All waymarking is undertaken to the current standards set down by Warwickshire County Council, which is the highways authority for Warwickshire Rights of Way through their Countryside Access Department. You can report any problems you encounter on Rights of Way in Warwickshire to them by .

Mancetter Parish Paths Partnership has a small, but active, volunteer group which, as well as refurbishing waymarker posts, undertakes a variety of maintenance work on the Rights of Way in the Parish.

The 2011 season refubishing the signposts and waymarker posts will commence towards the end of May along with some work replacing vandalised waymarker posts. It is hoped to complete the refurbishment work this year.

Mancetter Parish and the surrounding area offers good walking, for more details see our Walking in Mancetter Parish page.

Public Path Orders

Extinguishment of Public Footpath AE101 and the creation of a new Public Footpath, AE215. The background to this is that Public Footpath AE101 met the C12, Atherstone Road, at a dangerous location, on the abutment of Clock Hill Bridge, which is now traffic light controlled for safety. The order creates a new public footpath along the canal tow-path on the opposite side of the canal to Public Footpath AE101 and the new path continues under Clock Bridge, on to the track opposite Hartshill Wharf and as far a Apple Pie Lane in Hartshill Parish. Mancetter Parish Council supported these Public Path orders. Copies of the notice confirming the orders can be downloaded from this site.
