Trim Trail Equipment

Station Walk - The walkway formed from the disused railway which forms an alternative route through the main village. The Parish Council have provided street lighting along Station Walk.

Jinny Nature Trail - This nature trail has been formed by Stretton Parish Council and Rolleston on Dove Parish Council from the disused railway. The trail is extremely popular and is used by many walkers, dog walkers, local groups and all the local schools use the trail as part of their Environmental studies. The Planning Inspectorate following the Public Enquiry confirmed that an order to modify the definitive map and include the Jinny Trail as a bridleway would not be formalised - therefore the Jinny Trail will not become a bridleway.

Below is a picture of the old entrance onto the trail - extensive work has now been completed to upgrade the entrance to enable disabled people access.

Below are two pictures of the completed new access with RADAR gate.

The Green - A central part of the village owned and maintained by the Parish Council for many years.

The Millennium Garden - Site gifted to the Parish Council upon the closure of the School. The area was landscaped, a bus shelter erected and a sculpture commissioned during Millennium Year - 2000.

Hillfield Playing Fields - Primilarly used for football at present. There are two adult football pitches, a junior sized pitch and a large training area with floodlights. All the facilities are currently fully subscribed. It is the intention of the Parish Council to undertake a study of the facility and consult on the future of the playing fields and the facilities it offers or could offer.
