Kissing Gates Register.

The Ramblers Association not only organises many lead walks across the UK it also puts much effort into helping maintain and improve our network of public footpaths.

The South Cotswold Group is contributing to this effort in a number of ways, in this case by funding the purchase and installation of kissing gates. Kissing gates have the advantage that they are much easier to negotiate that stiles and are very durable lasting for many years with little or no maintenance.

The money to do this has, in the main, been raised from the sale of walking books produced by the group. This webpage records these gates and their location - you will notice a plaque - like the one on the right - on each of these gates.
