Big Welsh Coastal Walk


I thought this national event celebrating the launch of the Wales Coast Path may be of interest to you and your network. There is walk taking place from Pendine on Sunday 6th May 10.15am. We hope you can help publicise and get involved. Details are below.

Many thanks

Big Welsh Coastal Walk - Information

The Wales Coast Path has been developed by the Welsh Government in partnership with the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW), sixteen local authorities and two National Parks. In addition to funding from the Welsh Government and the coastal local authorities of approximately £2 million per year, the European Regional Development Fund has allocated nearly £4 million over four years in support of the project.

The Big Welsh Coastal Walk is celebrating the launch of the Wales Coast Path on 5th May, 870 miles of footpath covering the whole nation’s coastline.

The big event is happening all over Wales on the bank holiday weekend of the 5th, 6th & 7th May and we are encouraging as many people as possible to get involved. So far we have over 80 walks taking place all around Wales and 3 official launch events.

To join the walks people need to go to the google map on our website  www.ramblers.org.uk/wales where they can find out what is going on, click on the icons and then contact the walk leaders directly.

Individuals can also sign up through our homepage to get more details, and find free coastal path maps on through the CCW site  www.walescoastpath.gov.uk. Three official events are also taking place in Cardiff, Aberystwyth and Flint, from 11am-5pm with the official opening of the path by Welsh ministers.

We hope the walks can be an opportunity to highlight the magnificent coastline of Wales and the fantastic walking available. Please get in touch if you would like more information.

Many thanks
