Our neighbours have a footpath up the side of their field and I have lost count of how many times I have had to run and rescue their free range hens from loose dogs. They have had a fair few killed which would've made me gone mad personally.
They had their house up for sale a couple of years ago and it never sold despite a reasonable price tag and I wonder if the footpath was a factor.
The footpath crosses a 16ft track of ours which links my two fields and despite footpath signs I have still had to leg it up the field to redirect walkers. I'm amazed at what people say. I don't want to go over stiles up the footpath so I'd rather walk up your field instead! Erm no!
We put up a polite but firmly worded sign which seemed to work and then fenced the field with tornado fencing which is far harder to climb over than a stile!
I personally wouldn't want anymore footpath than the 16ft we have.
