Sir – Thank you very much for publishing details of the opening of the new Aston Rowant Discovery Trail under the title Walk in the footsteps of the first Elizabeth (Report, July 31).

As the vice-chairman of Aston Rowant Parish Council and the manager of the project I would also like to thank all the sponsors and the many volunteers who gave so much of their time and expertise.

We were only able to go ahead with the project due to generous grants from TOE2 Oxfordshire’s Trust for the Environment, Grundon, Oxfordshire County Council, Chilterns Conservation Board, Aston Rowant Parish Council and Brook Street Street Fair.

Thank you to everyone, including Natural England and National Trust whose staff and volunteers gave us a lot of practical help.

Peter Hetherington, Kingston Blount
