The countryside around here is stunningly beautiful. There are a variety of walks in the immediate area for you to explore. Some are quite easy going, while others take a bit more stamina.

Projects

• Addition of a Village Green - organised by Village Hall Committee and the land kindly donated by Monkton Combe School

• Foot Bridge over the Mill Race - after a 10 year + absence, thus enabling the footpath to be fully used. Thanks to Parish Council and Colin Hudson from B&NES. This was a Millennium Project.

• 20mph Speed Limit - through village - organised by Monkton Combe School and Parish Council as a joint venture. Hopefully this will make vehicles slow down when driving through the single tracks and where roads are frequented by school children.

• Lock up - repairs to the Lock up.

• Playground - replacement equipment and new safety flooring (summer 2006)
