Euro windfall for Coast Path
Spending £2.5 million on a public right-of-way might sound a lot in times of cutbacks, but the South West Coast Path is no ordinary trail.
It is a prime example of how the natural environment can support the economy and brings in around £222 million a year to the South West. The new funding comes from the Rural Development Programme for England and is to "improve the visitor experience" along the Coast Path. More
One of the first improvements will be at Watermouth Cove in the North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in where walkers presently have to traverse a section of road when the tide is in. Other projects in the Biosphere Reserve area include improvements at Hillsborough in Ilfracombe and at Combe Martin, and works at Embury Beacon, a National Trust site in Hartland.
