Herepath trails

Welcome to the Herepath Trails page!

The Staple Fitzpaine Herepath is NOW OPEN!

The Neroche Scheme is developing a network of multi-use trails starting with a 20km circuit around Staple Fitzpaine, which is now open!

The trails will mostly follow existing public rights of way and are intended for use by walkers and riders. The map on this page shows the approximate locations of the trails and you can find out more information on each of the three trails by clicking on the links below.

Herepaths were originally important trade and communication routes between settlements during the ninth century. Two herepaths passed through the Neroche area. Herepaths are also often referred to as people’s paths and the Neroche Scheme has adopted the name for the developing network of multi-use access trails in the area.
