Fire danger closes Wither Hills tracks
Most tracks in the Wither Hills Farm Park, including the Mountain Bike Park have been closed due to the current very high to extreme fire risk conditions.
Walkers and runners are asked to stay on the lower tracks, and not to venture up the gullies or ridge paths.
Cyclists are asked to avoid the Mountain Bike Park as this area would be particularly dangerous in the event of a fire.
Signs advising of the track closures have been installed at the Farm Park. The closure of these areas will apply at all times of the day.
