South West Tourism has worked in conjunction with ITV's
Britain on the Move campaign to create a free booklet containing 25 of the best walks across the South West of England.
The new guide, entitled Scenic Short Walks, aims to encourage healthier lifestyles and a greater enjoyment of the South West of England among visitors and residents alike.
With two national parks, 14 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a 630 mile-long coast path, which is also Britain's longest National Trail, visitors are spoilt for choice when it comes to the great outdoors in the region; it encompasses Bath, Bristol, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds, Somerset, and Wiltshire.
Featuring an equal mix of coastal and inland walks of varying length and difficulty, each walk has been carefully chosen for its spectacular views, historical significance or for the numerous species of wildlife that can be spotted from the path.
This guide offers something for everyone, regardless of age or agility.
The
British Heart Foundation is marking the UK's
National Walking Day on 18 September 2005 by organising sponsored walks along two of the routes featured in the guide; the White Horse-Westbury on Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire and Looe-Polperro, Cornwall.
