A new accessible gate has been added to a walking path in Chorleywood, which was recently named as one of Britain’s best autumn walks.
Last month, The Times announced its top 20 “most glorious autumn walks in Britain”, with the walk from Heronsgate to Chorleywood securing spot 18.
The sign on the kissing gate by Bottom Wood has recently been replaced and the gate swapped out for a new accessible one.
The sign reads: “You are now entering Bottom Wood, otherwise known as No Dragon Wood. No dragon related incidents since 1415.”
The sign was installed courtesy of a family who often enjoyed this walk, based on a joke the parents would play on the children.
To replace the gate, the sign had to be removed. After resident Jane Tozer noted the missing sign to Woodoaks Farm, the farm quickly responded to calm her fears.
A spokesperson said: “We will endeavour to keep up the hard work but must confess to a sneaky wish to expand our biodiversity to include dragons. Instead, we can only hope for its lesser non-fire-breathing cousin, the common lizard, one day.”
