Mancetter Parish
Mancetter Parish is part of Warwickshire County Council's Parish Paths Partnership (P3) Scheme whereby the Parish Council receives an annual grant from Warwickshire County Council to assist with Rights of Way improvements and maintenance. The Parish Council also allocates additional funding for Rights of Way maintenance.
Mancetter Parish has been active in the scheme since 1998 and has 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.
Mancetter Parish Paths Partnership Volunteers have started refubishing signposts and waymarker posts and have, except a few minor issues, completed work on the area between Quarry Lane and Hartshill Hayes (Paths AE103 and AE104) and the area around Hill Farm and across Atherstone Golf Course, between Purley Chase Lane and Monks Park Lane (Paths AE109y and AE110y). When the post painting has been completed, the new style County Waymarkers will be installed together with a Parish Paths plate indicating the Path Number and distances to destinations on the path.
Where there is a change of direction along a path there are additional waymarker posts to indicate the route. These are also yellow topped.
Mancetter Parish and the surrounding area offers good walking, for more details see our Walking in Mancetter Parish page.
Mancetter Parish Paths Partnership has a small, but active, volunteer group which undertakes a variety of maintenance work on the Rights of Way in the Parish and the volunteers also assist in other areas of North Warwickshire as part of North Warwickshire Footpath Volunteers.

Warwickshire County Council has issued the notice confirming the 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.
