In this guest blog from the staff at our newest Business Mile Makers we hear which walks inspired the team to give back to the National Trail.

Pawesome winter walkies on the Path
The clocks have gone back and the weather is turning colder, but even so, many of us are dreaming of weekend beach-time. It’s the time of year when dog owners and their four-legged friends can access beaches, and with that comes a plethora of winter coastal walkies to be enjoyed. We caught up with our furry volunteer, Rudy the SWCP Ambassadog (@cornishrudy on Instagram), and his owner Laura to find out which routes they love best.
As we build up to COP26 our #EveryMileMatters campaign is more relevant than ever
With over 9 million people using the SWCP each year, your support is vital to make every mile matter for our National Trail.
Heritage comes to life along the SWCP this September
‘Heritage Open Days’ – England’s biggest festival of heritage and culture – starts later this week, running from the 10 – 19th September 2021. Hundreds of heritage sites that aren’t usually open to the public will be opening their doors to us all, many for free. At SWCPA HQ we felt that the festival was especially poignant this year after 18 months of access being restricted to so many of the special spaces and places which make us feel good. In this blog we have picked out ten sites that we as a team would like to visit, incorporating a walk along the National Trail.
Makers making a difference – a tale of two Leahs
In this early ‘Inspired by the Coast’ blog, we chat to Lead Wade, Devon-based illustrator with a small family business called ‘From Land and Sea’.
A responsible kind of trail app
Another piece of good news for you this #NationalWalkingMonth, readers: we know that many of you are now using mapping apps to plan and track your adventures on the South West Coast Path (SWCP), which is why we are chuffed to be sharing news of our partnership with Hiiker! Hiiker have just become the first ever ‘Coast Path Friendly’ app, read on to find out what that means (and how SWCPA members can get 20% off the app).
