Coast Path Connectors Dorset

“Hi, I’m Catherine. I have worked for various environmental charities in community engagement roles, and am passionate about sharing my love of the natural world with other people. Working on the Coast Path Connectors project, I have helped people experience the benefits of walking the coast path on their mental and physical health, while also fostering an appreciation for nature.”

Community organisations we work with:

• Lantern Trust
• The Loft
• David Ellis Charity

The below video introduces you to Catherine (Community Engagement - Dorset) and one of our volunteers Jon on a walk at Old Harrys Rocks near Swanage in Summer 2024. Connecting participants to nature is a key aspect of the project and walking throughout the seasons like these groups do, means that there is always so much to discover on the Coast Path.

Accessibility

Each walk has been planned to be appropriate for the walking group and participants’ needs. We will always let participants know where the nearest toilets are, the terrain, steepness, steps on route, and distance. We aim to make our walks as accessible as we can. Please do get in contact if you need further information before the walk, to check that it is suitable for your individual needs.
