Health And Safety

Deep Water

There is no deep water on site, however water travelling through the medieval culvert can run as deep as 1m during and after heavy rainfall.

Trip Hazard

Trip hazards include low uneven walls and foundations.

Sheer Drop

There is a high drop into the medieval culvert. This is fenced at the highest level and there is a medium- to high- level wall around the rest.

Slip Hazard

The short grass can become slippery when wet.

Beware Of Traffic

From the car park next to the church, the site is accessed by crossing a narrow road which is part of the Cotswold Way and leads to a nearby campsite. Farm vehicles, heavy machinery and groups of cyclists also use this road.

Uneven Ground

There are some areas of uneven ground on site, and there can be mole activity around the perimeter walk.
