Join the village Chicken Chasers for an informal stroll through the countryside on the footpaths and bridleways around the village.
It’ll be around 3 miles with a circular route starting and finishing at The Three Horseshoes, so you’ll need walking boots or wellies depending on the weather.
Everyone is welcome including well behaved dogs, kids and youngsters, and visitors to the village. The route may be a bit hilly so there may be a little effort involved.

Chapmanslade Parish Plan Adopted
Following community consultation meetings the Parish Plan has formally been adopted by the Parish Council.
