A number of years ago the Sherston Footpath Group, which is a subcommittee of Sherston Parish Council, produced a new guide to local footpaths. Hundreds of hours of volunteer time went into this work which resulted in the publication of the guide. Not only does the guide include ten individual circular walks in shower proof seals but also a fascinating introduction to the parish and a trail around the village with its fine and interesting buildings. The walks are not confined to Sherston parish but also venture into Easton Grey, Luckington, and Sopworth as well as over the border to Didmarton. 

In order to encourage as many residents and visitors as possible to enjoy the beautiful countryside surrounding Sherston the illustrated full colour guide has been priced by the parish council at cost – a very reasonable £10.00, available from Sherston Co-op The Angel and the Rattlebone. The booklet is on it’s third reprint and was last revised in July 2025.

Thanks are also to Wiltshire Council for kindly providing valuable assistance with OS map reproduction. As it is more than 25 years since the parish council last produced such a publication, it is hoped that the guide will be popular; it will makes an excellent present for those with an interest in the area.
