We all know that walking next to the sea on the South West Coast Path (SWCP) makes us feel good, but as part of National Marine Week we wanted to find out why. Lynne Wyness, Academic and Life Coach tells us a bit more about the science behind it.
During lockdown we surveyed over 1,000 people to find out what the Coast Path means to them and the results have been quite staggering.
Normally, the summer holidays are a chance for us to step away from the boring day-to-day and go on a true adventure. A few blissful weeks of less screen time, more green time, where you excitedly set your out of office and head off to explore the great outdoors. But with Covid-19 throwing somewhat of a proverbial spanner in the works, many of us are at a bit of a loss when it comes to holiday plans this year.
Whether you’re an adrenalin junkie looking for your next fix or interested in trying something new on your next walking holiday, there really is something for everyone. We’ve put together our Top 5 water-based activities in the South West and where best to try them – all just a stone’s throw from the Path.
In 2019, on Just Giving alone, there were over 500 fundraising pages created for challenges on the Path, which collectively raised over £700,000 in aid of various causes.
In this blog celebrating the 46th World Environment Day, SWCPA Director, Julian, talks about the shift to home-working, making ‘Time for Nature’ and caring for the natural environment.
