Spot anything different about the latest issue of Walk? ♻️

We’ve switched to a paper envelope instead of a film wrapper, so there's less was and easier recycling 🌳

Quote over an autumnal countryside background reads: “Elizabeth continued her walk alone, 
crossing field after field at a quick pace, jumping over stiles and springing over puddles with impatient activity, and finding herself at last within view of the house, with weary ankles, dirty stockings, and a face glowing with the warmth of exercise

As we mark 25 years of the Countryside & Rights of Way (CRoW) Act, it's time for bold action again. Time to break down barriers. Time to create truly inclusive access to the great outdoors.

We're in Westminster today with partners from the outdoor sector, making the case that EVERYONE should have the chance to get out & enjoy the great outdoors

Walking & time outdoors is essential to our health & wellbeing but #AccessToNature is unequal & progress on improving access has stalled 🧵

But despite its promises, this Labour administration has not yet taken any meaningful action.

Everyone deserves a place to walk. It shouldn’t be a “nice-to-have”. It has a huge impact on our health, wellbeing and daily lives.

Sunday is a pretty big anniversary* in the fight for the public’s right to enjoy the countryside...

Which has got us thinking about how previous Labour governments have consistently improved the public’s access to nature... 🧵

In many ways, it boils down to a simple question -

Should the England Coast Path follow the coast? 🤔

Queen Victoria's Isle of Wight retreat blocks national coast path - BBC News Osborne House on the Isle of Wight will not allow the King Charles III England Coast Path to cross its land.

Call this a coast path? 🤔

Great to see the BBC cover the dangerous proposed route for the King Charles III #EnglandCoastPath

Rather than follow the historic beach at English Heritage's Osborne estate, the coast path will go miles inland along a busy A-road 🧵
