This year, for World Mental Health Day, we reflect on the impact that our Coast Path Connectors programme is having on the groups we walk with and the people we have had join us. Our walks aim to encourage a step away from everyday life, and a step onto the Coast Path and a new environment, that can offer a sense of freedom and space for both mind and body, and boost mental health and wellbeing.
We’re back with a summer update on our National Lottery Heritage Funded Coast Path Connectors Project. Our POs have been out spotting summer wildlife, exploring hidden gems and celebrating the work of our fantastic volunteers.
In this latest update on the Coast Path Connectors project, we reflect on the benefits of our walking groups and look ahead to spring.
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.
What a year it has been for our Coast Path Connectors Project! In this latest report, our Project Officers provide regional updates on the development of their walking groups over the course of the year.
With the summer fading fast, many of us are embracing the cold water swimming trend, even if only for a quick dip. The benefits of cold water swimming are well reported and with the coast path providing access to miles of beaches, coves, and sea pools, we thought we’d share some top tips and safety advice for when you’re next taking the plunge.
