Oxfordshire County Council’s Countryside Access Team has received an Access Innovation Award for improvements to the highest bridleway on the Thame Path.
A welcome flight of steps alongside a ramp were installed last year on the path from Whitchurch to Gatehampton. The problem was a worn path on a very steep slope just before Hartslock Wood.
New steps, ramp and handrail have been widely welcomed.
The award was made by the British Horse Society’s Oxfordshire branch.
