Gorsley and Kilcot Parish Council is keen to map out a footpath to Newent, using existing public rights of way.

Funding is being sought from bodies like Gloucestershire County Council and the Newent Initiative.

The possibility of a cycle route from Gorsley to Kilcot is also being discussed, and talks have been opened with Sustrans, the sustainable transport charity, which works on practical projects to encourage walking, cycling and the use of public transport.
