Four of Dymock's heritage paths for ramblers are specifically named on the latest ordnance survey maps.
But the Friends of the Dymock Poets, which promote the walks, say there is no room for complacency, and they are backing a Ramblers' Association campaign to get more tracks registered.
The Association has found that 46,138 miles of rights of way are currently missing from an emerging definitive map for England and Wales, and unless they are legally claimed for inclusion by January 2026, they could be lost forever.
The four Dymock area walks already on current maps include Poets' Path 1; Poets' Path II; The Daffodil Way and Walks in Dymock Woods.
The walks would have been know to a number of poets who settled in the Dymock area, or visited regular, prior to the First World War.
These poets included Rupert Brooke, Edward Thomas and Robert Frost, and others.
Brooke, who was to die during the Great War, was also known as "the most handsome man in England".
