What is Every Mile Matters about?

Every Mile Matters is a campaign calling for people to act now to protect the South West Coast Path, a much-loved natural resource at the heart of our community. We want to increase the Path’s resilience against an onslaught of extreme weather brought about by climate change. We want to conserve the Trail’s rich biodiversity, distinct cultural heritage and demonstrate the real, positive impact it has on people’s health and wellbeing. We want to help the south west business community recover from the devastating effects the coronavirus outbreak has had on tourism. Our vision is to see the South West Coast Path not only survive, but thrive – benefiting everyone in society regardless of how old they are, where they come from or what their background is. But we can’t do it alone.

  • Collaborative: working in partnership to protect the Path, achieving more than by working alone.

  • Motivating: increasing information and advice, supporting and encouraging all those who want to enjoy the Coast Path.

  • Open: being honest, fair, ethical and transparent in the way we work.
