Meet Ella Mason, a second year student at Arts University Plymouth studying Illustration who has created a beautiful leaflet to inspire adventures along the South West Coast Path.
Introducing Barney Munn, who is kindly volunteering at the Association in the communications team. Barney will be writing inspiring articles to encourage others to step out on the Coast Path as he shares his favourite places along the Trail as he walks to fulfil his ambition of completing the entire 630 miles of South West Coast Path.
This week (3rd – 9th June) we’re celebrating 40 years of National Volunteers’ Week, and the fantastic work and time that our volunteers dedicate to us across the SWCP, from our Trustees, to our Path Reps, Coast Path Connectors, Marketing volunteers, and more! To celebrate, we talked to volunteers across our National Lottery Heritage funded Coast Path Connectors project about their role, why they volunteer for us and their favourite stretches of coastline.
In the latest update on the National Lottery Heritage funded Coast Path Connectors Project, our CPC Project Officers provide a brief update from each area hub across the South West, as well as springtime flora and fauna cropping up on the walks.
An eight-week walk along the SWCP by visual artist Carys Wilson creates a beautiful exhibition of artworks inspired by her journey.
