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’.

Coast Path Connectors project gets underway

Thanks to funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the South West Coast Path Association has recently launched an exciting new Coast Path Connectors project that aims to open up coastal walking to a range of new audiences. This project will help improve equity of access along the South West Coast Path by supporting local people in making the most of our amazing trail, for their health and well-being, through a network of new volunteers.

Spring water sourced a stone’s throw away from the South West Coast Path

An award-winning sustainable business, Devonia Water, has joined the South West Coast Path Association as a sponsor of the Trailblazer Walk during our 50th anniversary year. We are delighted to have them step on board and look forward to them joining us on the walk when we pass through their South Devon section of the coast path.
