Natural England
Organised by Natural England, the Marine Park will host fun-packed activities from 10am to 4pm on Friday, 29 and Saturday, 30 September and are free for all to enjoy, enabling individuals and community groups to connect with nature and the King Charles III England Coast Path through a variety of activities. Some activities must be booked in advance.
Taking in locations including Jennycliff, Mount Batten, The Barbican and Plymouth Hoe, day one will feature guided walks along the coast path, opportunities to learn about the history of areas around the path and to discover the citys wildlife. And, if you would like to see what lives in rock pools, the Ocean Conservation Trust will be offering rock pooling sessions at Mount Batten.
The Royal William Yard is the location for Saturdays events, including another chance to go on a guided walk, geo-trails and activities looking at Plymouths Jurassic past, run by the University of Plymouth, a circus workshop (11am to 3pm) run by Higher Beings, live music, childrens crafts, a scavenger hunt and augmented reality artwork from Ashnihilation.
There is currently 850 miles of the new national trail open, but when completed it will stretch all the way around the coast of England and will be about 2,700 miles long. It will take people through some of the finest landscapes in England, linking iconic places and heritage on the coast with less well-known areas and unlocking access to some parts of our coast for the first time.
The King Charles III England Coast Path will connect people with nature, enabling all to access the natural environment and experience the health and wellbeing benefits that it can bring.
