Heritage comes to life along the SWCP this September

‘Heritage Open Days’ – England’s biggest festival of heritage and culture – starts later this week, running from the 10 – 19th September 2021. Hundreds of heritage sites that aren’t usually open to the public will be opening their doors to us all, many for free. At SWCPA HQ we felt that the festival was especially poignant this year after 18 months of access being restricted to so many of the special spaces and places which make us feel good. In this blog we have picked out ten sites that we as a team would like to visit, incorporating a walk along the National Trail.

Between the Green and the Blue

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.

Fundraising

Make your summer Coast Path Challenge dreams a reality

At this time of year many of us are hunkered down inside, concocting plans for once-in-a-life-time summer challenges on the South West Coast Path, but how do you make a notion into an exhilarating, sweaty, unforgettable reality? And more than that, how do you make it a successful fundraiser that will help ensure the Path is always there to enjoy?
