Today’s footpaths announcement is very welcome news and will ensure many miles of ancient paths are recorded, thereby preserving their use for future generations.
Much more needs to be done to allow for responsible access across England - both on land and water.

It's Wren Day or Hunt The Wren Day. Wrenboys caught a wren & placed it on top of a staff decorated with holly, ivy, ribbons, & paraded it around the neighbourhood. The wrenboys were typically dressed in straw masks, greenery or colourful clothing; sang songs & played music for money to bury the wren
