History Around the SW Coast Path – Part I – Prehistory, The Age of Megaliths, Bronze and Iron
SWCPA Chair Bob Mark is a keen historian and to celebrate the 50th-anniversary of the charity he has written the first article in a series that will explore the history of the landscape that the South West Coast Path traverses. This first part will take us back in time to the age of megaliths, the Bronze and Iron Ages, remnants of which have left their indelible mark on the landscape, helping to form what could be called the ‘wonders of the South West Coast Path’.

Mythwalker
My name is Adam Skerrett, aka ‘Mythwalker.’ I am a Celtic writer and storyteller, exploring the terrain where myth meets ecology. I’ve recently returned from a pilgrimage to ‘beat-the-bounds’ of Dumnonia – that ancient Celtic kingdom, which once included; Cornwall, Devon, parts of Somerset and Dorset. ‘Beating-the-bounds’ is an ancient practice, of ritually walking around the perimeter of one’s land. It typically includes visiting places of significance belonging to that land and connecting to those sites in a meaningful way.Â
