To deliver new health walking groups for the communities living in and around the Tamar Valley AONB by creating a network of local, trained volunteer walk leaders. Currently we have weekly risk assessed health walks in a small number of locations, led by staff and volunteers from the AONB, Natural England, Cornwall PCT and Cornwall Council. Walk leader training is being provided for new volunteer leaders from within the community.
Our walks
Wednesday morning walks, open to all, but mainly of level 1 and 2. Promoting the walks to local communities and the wider community in the city of Plymouth, as well as specific community groups.
Walks often use the local public transport network (rail, bus and ferry) to provide a greater variety of suitable health walk routes in the AONB area.
The AONB offers a number of safe and newly developed off road trails through the mining heritage area.
Events
Walk Leader Training day for new Volunteer Walk Leaders on 17th August at Drakewalls.
A special walk to be planned to take place on 28th October during the Tamar Valley Discovery Festival (24th October to 1st November 2009.)
