Fiona Walker gate, Snelsmore Common The Fiona Walker gate is engraved with a leaf pattern and text to the top beam at the edge of Snelsmore Common. It was installed by the West Berkshire Ramblers on the 27th of May 2008.

The engraving is now quite difficult to see, hence this close look at the text, which reads "CLEARING FOOTPATHS FOR YOU
FIONA WALKER GATE".

Fiona Walker is the Work Party Coordinator and helps to coordinate the work party with West Berkshire Council’s Rights of Way team to help to maintain the network of footpaths in the local government district.
