Come on England - you could do this The red band on the sign is the deletion of a keep out sign. More advanced nations have laws against them, but we must never ever be complacent.

A scattering of ancient beeches suggest there was once a tree lined strip here, old maps show a 2 acre elongated enclosure between the gate and Redmyre.

Old beech, Redmyre Once there was a line of beeches either side of a road here, possibly a pair of hedges. Old maps show a long 2 acre (0.8 Ha) strip here. Redmyre Wood beyond has a chequered history. 1950s 1:25,000 maps show no woodland here, but there was a substantial wood here on the 25&quot; map of 1900.

Road, Redmyre A local described a route with dense gorse in the area calling it the Priest&#039;s Road. Later the route which is waymarked on Redmyre land, does become an attractive single track path through gorse and broom, before passing through a Forestry Commission plantation. Well worth walking/riding.

Please respect nature Non compliant signage - more obvious keep out signs have been painted over. You may like to put Redmyre Perthshire into a search engine and learn a little more about respecting nature.

This twee goml sign with its pretty picture is generic. I have seen them littering the place in Northumberland too. (Sadly they are still legal there).
