Paths and Communities
Delivering community focused access projects across Wales
Paths and Partnerships
Ramblers Cymru is driven to put walking at the heart of communities across Wales, making them greener, healthier, and more enjoyable places to visit, live in, work, and explore.
To achieve this we recognise the need to work in partnership with a range of organisations, from local authorities and government agencies to third-sector partners and community groups.
Led by the community, for the community
Ramblers Cymru believes that by working alongside communities to engage with their local path network and green spaces, together we can create sustainable walking opportunities for all. Ultimately this will connect people to the health and wellbeing benefits of nature and walking.
Paths to Wellbeing
The current projects are built on the foundation of our previous community work. Between 2021-23 Ramblers Cymru ran the Paths to Wellbeing project, working with 18 communities across Wales to improve paths and nature and provide communities with the tools and training to maintain and improve local access.
