The rainbow represents the Rainbow Walks around the village (shown in
the map) and surrounding countryside. The cycle indicates a national
cycle route passes through the village.
The Red Kite has become a common site in the skies around the village
since its reintroduction to nearby Fineshades Woods. The 14th/15th
