Shobrooke Park Estate
Public Access to Shobrooke Park
There are two sorts of public access 0n the
Shobrooke Park Estate. 'Rights of Way' and 'Permissive Areas'.
The 'Rights of
Way' are always open to the public but very occasionally will need to be
diverted for work to be done to to maintain them in good condition.
'Permissive Areas' are additional places to walk but need to be closed at
times when they interfere with the running of the farm.
When ewes and lambs are in the fields you may well find them closed.
Dogs and farm
animals do not mix well.
We have regular occurrences of dogs chasing and
sometimes killing lambs and ewes.
So
to keep the peace the permissive areas will sometimes be closed.
Also it is
necessary to close them an a regular basis to ensure they do not become
statutory 'Rights of Way'.
If you are in the fields with farm animals please
keep your dog on a lead and walk round the animals.
You may deviate from the
'Right of Way' to avoid the sheep.
There is disabled access for wheel chair users at the Creedy Bridge entrance with a RADAR key and also at the East lodge Entrance.
Tthe area in the Park, South
of the Ponds, is available as a 'Permissive Access Area'.
We allow the public to wander at will in the area either side of the southern 'Right of
Way'.
Please keep your dog on a lead if there are sheep in the field.
If there continues to be occurrences when dogs chase the sheep or kill the lambs
this permissive access could be withdrawn.
The area North of the large Pond is available to the fishermen who hold yearly
permits.
Please do not trespass North of the Pond.
Please see details on the local notices dispalyed at the Western Entrance to the Park.
