Since the launch of the Society in 2014, its website www.hundredparishes.org.uk has continued to evolve and expand as a resource for the local area.
It is hoped that this article may help people make the most of www.hundredparishes.org.uk . You are encouraged to step through the menu to get a feel for what is available. If you want to look something up, you might try either Parishes, What’s On, Articles or Walks.
Parishes holds the key to lots of things. From either the map or the alphabetical listing, select an individual parish to find out a little about its history, the nearest walks or details for a pub or tea room. Introductions include ideas for further reading and links to useful websites.
What’s On lists future events in chronological order. Many entries have a link to further information. We are pleased to give publicity to any event that promotes local knowledge or culture, exploration or conservation.
Articles offers local insight into a wide range of topics.
Walks has general guidance and then three options: Station walks, Quiet Lane walks and Other walks. Scroll down the list to find one that suits your need in terms of location and distance. Then click on the walk number to call it up. The first few paragraphs will describe distance, terrain and opportunities for refreshment. When you find a walk you like, print it to take with you. [Control, P] is a useful shortcut to start printing.
Feedback is a way of telling us of changes or something we have missed – perhaps a pub closure, bus route change, additional activity for What’s On, or website links or phone numbers that no longer work.
I hope these notes may make your visits to the website more rewarding.
