Celebrating 40 Years of National Volunteers’ Week

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.

Festive Walks on the South West Coast Path

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.
