As part of an initiative to change public perceptions of the area, a network of 6 circular footpaths in and around the village of Dailly were created. This project evolved as a community initiative and has involved an artist selecting areas of the paths and creating seating, waymarkers and a bridge across the river. The paths run through the countryside and riverside with one of the paths fully accessible to those with special needs. Partnerships across the areas of civil engineering, education and local authority characterise this project.
