Local Walks

There are several public footpaths and unmetalled roads (which resemble Green Lanes) within the parish.

Please follow the Country Code and keep dogs under control when livestock is present.  Dog owners are asked in the interests of hygiene to clear up after their pets & put it in the bin provided outside the public footpath opposite the village green (church/pub) carpark.
Our volunteer Parish Paths Co-ordinator is always glad of volunteers to help with the upkeep of the paths: To contact the paths coordinator please telephone the Clerk 01364 644109 or email sharon.raggett@sky.com.

Rattery Rambles

Kettlewell Walk

Rattery celebrated the opening of The Kettlewell Walk, a new permissive footpath in the heart of the village, on the morning of Saturday 6 October 2018. County Councillor Hosking praised the project as a brilliant example of what could be achieved by co-operation and community action. It will preserve and enhance an area of woodland and wetland, and the hedgerow corridor that links it, to other wildlife areas along the valley of the Bidwell Brook. Rattery is home to 13 species of bat, and an internationally significant roost for Greater Horseshoe Bats, so maintaining local flight path corridors is really important.
The new path was made possible by the generous permission of various landowners, including Devon and Cornwall Housing and, Dartington Hall Estate, and by a grant from the National Grid Community Fund.
