This #MentalHealthWeek our fantastic Coast Path Connectors Project Manager, Alex, takes the opportunity to outline some of the amazing health and wellbeing benefits of the National Lottery Heritage funded Coast Path Connectors Project.
At the South West Coast Path our team lives and breathes all things coast path and we don’t pause over the festive season. In fact, our team loves to get out on the path with friends and family and enjoy a good walk whether it’s pre, post or on the big day! As we lead up to Christmas, our team has shared some of their favourite places to walk over the festive period, with many including a great café or pub to stop off in for a hot chocolate or mulled wine.
Artist Emma Scattergood has spent the Association’s 50th birthday year, walking and sketching the South West Coast Path with the aim of creating 50 pictures to celebrate it. Here Emma reflects on her year on the Path, and how it has worked its ‘magic’ on her.
Our fiftieth celebrations have highlighted to us why we hold the Path dear – they have inspired challenge, creativity, wellbeing, friendships, and celebrations for our wonderful volunteers… the list goes on! In this blog, we share 50 reasons why we love Britain’s longest National Trail.
In the first of this blog series on solo hiking, we explore the motivation behind solo journeys and relate them to experiences on the South West Coast Path.
