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?
We’re celebrating seventy years since the Act that led to the creation of our National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and National Trails. Last week a final Glover Report was published. This review of England’s landscapes takes measure at how well we’ve protected these special places since 1949, and what needs to be put in place to address the significant challenges facing our landscapes in the new millennium. We’re delighted that National Trails are properly recognised within the Review as an integral part of our national landscapes family
