Cheshire Police Rural Crime Team have had a very busy weekend.

They undertake a quite remarkable job in seeking to keep the countryside safe and in encouraging everyone to share the countryside responsibly.

Just a reminder to everyone whilst the schools are on holiday and the weather continues to be sensational.

• 'Know the Code Before You Go' – whilst the countryside, and particularly the Sandstone Ridge, is a remarkable landscape, it requires everyone to 'respect, protect and enjoy' – know your Countryside Code.

• Do not feed any animals that you might see – please do not feed horses 'titbits'

• Keep dogs on leads – lambs and livestock are currently grazing

• BBQs are not permitted on the Sandstone Ridge due to the risk of fire – please act responsibly

• Leave the countryside as you found it – take litter home and avoid trampling on farmland
