Such a towpath (known in German as a towpath or Leinpfad), which runs alongside the river or canal, was an essential part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could move by motor power, horses walked along the bank, pulling the boat against the current. This activity was called "treideln" in German, and thus the "treidelpfad" got its name. Where these paths – running directly along the bank – have survived to this day, they no longer serve their original purpose, but are still popular: namely, with hikers and cyclists.

An ancient area of woodland with a mixture of native tree species and a wide range of animals, insects and birds. The area is owned by Tarmac and the Ministry of Defence, some areas are occasionally closed for military exercises so always follow signs.

The current church was built in the mid to late 14th and 15th centuries with some 19th century additions. Its three previous buildings date back to the 8th century, but were all destroyed by raids (874 and 943) or a fire (1345). The church is named after Saint Editha, probably King Edgar's aunt.
