Nature on your doorstep

www.combevalleycountrysidepark.com

Looking after your park and yourselfPlease keep yourself and others safe and protect the animals and plants which live here, the peace of the countryside and the livelihoods of the farmers who look after it

• Plan your route ahead and stay on the paths marked by the numbered posts. Each post has a number (shown on the map overleaf) so you can work out where you are.

• Make sure that you wear suitable clothing and footwear and carry some food & drink if you plan to stay out for a long time. A mobile phone will help if there’s a problem. If you have a Smartphone you can use the QR codes on the signs to fi nd out where you are and more about the park.

• Please close every gate you open and leave property as you fi nd it.

• Leave farm animals to graze in peace and avoid areas of crops.

• Especially keep dogs under control. Farmers have the right to destroy those endangering their animals. Please ensure that you clean up after your dog.

• Litter spoils the area for everyone and can injure or kill farm animals and wildlife. Please take it home.
