컬워스 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Crossing the disused railway line - unfortunately the cutting was obscured by trees.

Got caught out following what appeared to be the route only to find the proper, direct route was obscured.

Very good coffee and warm sausage rolls

excellent coffee stop

Mixed surface bridleway that includes some double track, path and fields. Most of the surface is ride able apart from one small section where the horses have cut the ground up. Although this section may be ride able if it's dry and you are going towards Eydon.

Of all the buildings in Culworth the Church is by far the oldest.  Standing in the middle of the village for nearly 1000 years we all have a duty as villagers to maintain and preserve it for future generations, in the same way people from Culworth have always done.

The Danvers family held the manor of Culworth from 1643, when Samuel Danvers (1611–1683) was created a baronet. The Danvers Baronetcy became extinct with the death of Sir Michael Danvers, 5th Baronet, in 1776. Marble monuments to the Danvers family inside the church of St. Mary the Virgin were erected in 1790. The school dates back to 1789 when Merial D’Anvers, the spinster daughter of a local prominent land-owning family, commissioned the building of the original school house which is still in use today. Culworth Forge on the Green operated for over 500 years before closing a few years ago, to be replaced by Forge2, a gallery exhibiting the work of local artists.

The Village may have originated as a Danish settlement - Thorpe is an Old Norse name for a village. (Mandeville is a corruption of Amundeville – Richard de Amundeville was lord of the manor during the thirteenth century).
