It was well used by dogwalkers, bird watchers, runners and families enjoying a walk. Its sad to see it closed.
It must be gutting for the countryside rangers who put so much work into it initially and then only recently were involved in upgrading the paths.

I've walked my dog frequently at Newton over the years, though not these past few months. The recent findings and closure are worrying. I did a search on the forums here and came up with this :-
