The magical light and colour highlight the beauty of nature and a peaceful moment of solitude.

Jeanie Blackall wins the Active Devon Volunteer Award for the North Devon District and Torridge area

Congratulations to Jeanie Blackall who has won the Active Devon Volunteer Award for the North Devon District and Torridge area. Jeanie came up with the idea of starting a walking group for people who had lost their life partners and mentioned this to our Coast Path Connectors Project Officer Huw who thought it was wonderful and provided advice and support to help set up the group. From this meeting and from Jeanie’s hard work Healing Steps was formed.
