An enhanced footpath route alongside the Golf Course

Over two Saturdays in January, ten volunteers from TMAEG and the new Milton Keynes Green Gym carried out a major improvement of the public footpath that separates the housing in Leafield Rise and Cambron from Abbey Hill Golf Course to their west.  The work included scraping soil and vegetation from the path surface, cutting back untidy vegetation alongside the path, and the planting of guelder roses and small trees to fill some of the gaps. The group also created a woodland trail extension to the public footpath – this joins the High Street to the west of that path.

Before:  The heavily overgrown path which leads from the High Street to the northern end of Leafield Rise.

These improvements have been much welcomed by local residents.  Thanks are due to Abbey Hill Golf Centre for providing the logs for the woodland path,  to Milton Keynes Council who supplied the wood chippings that make up the surface, and to our volunteers without whose energy none of this would have been possible.

If you haven’t already done so, try the paths out and see where they lead you!
