landscape – The South West Coast Path

Inspired by the Coast: Lucy Davies

Artist Lucy Davies draws deep inspiration from the Cornish coast, where decades of walking the cliffs between Padstow and Newquay have shaped her vibrant seascapes. Working in acrylics, inks and mixed media, she layers colour, texture and imagination to capture the drama of sea, sky and wild coastal plants. Painting from sketches made along the Coast Path, Lucy’s work reflects both the rugged beauty of Cornwall and the joy she feels while immersed in its ever-changing landscape.

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.
