My first check of the Teifi Valley Trail completed from Llangeler to Newcastle Emlyn via Allt y Cafan in blistering heat. The route is being created by Walkers are Welcome volunteers and navigable through sleepy hollows and lesser used footpaths. #RiverTeifi #Carmarthenshire #Walking #Cerdded #Antur #Teifi #TeifiValleyTrail #WalkersAreWelcome #NewcastleEmlyn #Llangeler #AlltYCafan #Wales #Cymru

Really interesting edition of the Walk This Way newsletter from the Walkers are Welcome team celebrating ‘Wales by Trails’ with Visit Wales.

It’s brilliant to see an article about the collaborative project to launch the Teifi Valley Trail! I’ll be checking and creating route descriptions this weekend, so expect lots of photos to follow!

Imagine walking through all the accredited Walkers are Welcome Towns in the South West via Slow Ways? It's possible and I like the look of the trek across the Mendips from Cheddar to Keynsham.

The Kington Walking festival started with a bang last night with an early evening walk across the Radnor Hills, finishing with a pint in the Harp Inn, Old Radnor. Cracking views across the area and somehow we managed to dodge the showers. #Kington #OldRadnor #Walking #walkersarewelcome #Marches #History #WallkngFestival #Beer

Walkers are Welcome Town - Dereham

The poet and hymn writer, William Cowper (1731-1800) settled and died in Dereham, Norfolk. He wrote of life in the English countryside, becoming a forerunner of Romantic Poetry. He was much admired by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth.

Cowper’s House in Dereham Market Place was demolished, and the Cowper Evangelical Congregational Church was built in his memory.

Research shows that it is not about the amount of time spent in nature objectively, but that moments of active engagement are what develop greater nature connection and well-being benefits.

Slowing down, noticing, engaging the senses, and exploring the meaning of experiences is key to going beyond just physically being in contact with nature, to developing an emotional connection and closer relationship.

In the autumn of 1830, the Hampshire countryside erupted behind Captain Swing in the Dever Valley Swing Riots!

This Spring, Whitchurch WaW will launch a new trail to celebrate passing by the pub in Sutton Scotney which proudly displays a commemorative plaque recording the names of the villagers who signed the petition to the King, ‘they challenged injustice in defense of their rights and they should not be forgotten’

Environment minister breaks government pledge to save historic paths

Walkers are Welcome shares the deep disappointment, anger and frustration at the latest government volte face – backtracking on the promise made only last year to abandon the 1 January 2026 cut off date to register historic rights of way.

Walkers are Welcome Town - Wivelscombe

Wiveliscombe is a small, vibrant, friendly community on the edge of Exmoor, the Blackdown and Brendon hills and the nearby coast. There is a myriad of well maintained footpaths, some near national trails, readily reached from The Town Square.

Wiveliscombe is easily accessed and makes a visit to this little known part of Somerset well worthwhile.

Walkers are Welcome Town - Whitchurch, Hampshire

Nestling in the upper reaches of the River Test chalk stream, Whitchurch is Hampshire’s smallest town.
This part of North Hampshire is a tale of two halves, from the river valleys and meadows to the ancient flinty tracks, high chalk ridges and steep valleys of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This is Hampshire walking country without the crowds.
