With the weather turning cooler and days becoming shorter, the Community Engagement team reflect on a busy summer. Despite some very hot days, the team have been leading walks and introducing more local communities to the beautiful South West Coast Path to groups that might not normally have the opportunity to get out, as well as those who draw benefit from the positive health and wellbeing impacts of walking the Path.
There’s a saying that there’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing. While that may be partly true, leading community walks in poor weather requires far more than a good waterproof. As we’ve seen this year, unsettled weather has meant staying flexible and keeping a hopeful eye on the forecast.
From insect walks and coastal history tours in Torbay to butterflies and sea swims in Dorset, our walking groups are making the most of the summer. The Coast Path Connectors project, funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, continues to bring people together on accessible, supported walks across our five area hubs in Torbay, North Devon, Dorset, Plymouth and Cornwall. In this latest update, our Community Engagement team give an update on their community walks and what’s to come.
As our initial National Lottery Heritage Funding for Coast Path Connectors comes to an end this month, we are really pleased to share with you our summary videos from each hub, which introduce our excellent staff team and their achievements.
In our latest blog on Coast Path Connectors, Alex, our CPC Project Manager shares the exciting news about continuing our community outreach and engagement work in 2025.
