How- ever, carbon footprints are not the focus for this year’s Anvil. Instead we have decid- ed to look at “footprints” in a broader sense. The High Weald is a landscape that has been shaped by man – and creatures – over generations, so we have delved into the area’s history to explore some of the last- ing “footprints” made by previous generations. Some we value and are thankful for, while others are more of a conundrum. Dinosaurs were the first to tramp the sandstones which form the underlying geology of the area – and their footprints can still be seen where the rock has been exposed. Later, the Anglo-Saxons left perhaps the most significant footprint on the landscape – the small, irregu- lar-shaped fields, scattered settlements and drove routes.

It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 5.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.
