Path Memories

As part of our 50th-anniversary celebrations, we asked our members to write to us with their experiences of walking the South West Coast Path. This series shares some of the personal stories of members who have supported the charity over the years.

Inspired by the Coast

Inspired by the Coast – Kathleen Ashcroft

This month we introduce emerging artist Kathleen Ashcroft. Kathleen lives in South Devon and runs along the coast path near her house most days. Her keen interest in the built heritage and history on the stretch of coastline near her home played an influential role when it came to her recent Arts degree in 3D Design and Crafts. Lighthouses in particular were the source of inspiration for her stunning geometric jewellery designs made from recycled metals.
