Natural England unveils plans for coast path in Essex – Consultation Ends 9/12/2020 Proposals to open up a 50 mile stretch of coast between Salcott and Jaywick have been unveiled by Natural England. This final stretch of the path will complete a 295 mile (474 kilometres) coastal route along the Essex coast. The consultation runs until 9th December 2020. The route would become part of the England Coast Path which is a 2,700 mile long distance walking route. It is also England’s newest National Trail which is currently being developed around the entire English coast by Natural England. A message from HM Lord-Lieutenant of Essex Mrs Jennifer Tolhurst: “Have you ever thought of becoming a magistrate? If you are between 18 and 65 you could apply to train for this vital role in the justice system and give back to your community. Magistrates are unpaid volunteers who use their everyday skills to deal with real social issues and make life-changing decisions. Many employers recognise the benefit of allowing employees the time off to do this valuable work partly because of the skills learned which impact favourably in the workplace.

  • 1 the England Coast Path River Deben Association Autumn Meeting
    The England Coast Path River Deben Association Autumn Meeting 29th November Speaker: Giles Merritt, Lead Adviser, England Coast Path Delivery (Norfolk and Suffolk Team) Natural England Establishing the England Coast Path The River Deben Association’s Autumn Meeting on 29th November was well attended with over 150 members present. Giles Merritt, Lead Advisor for Natural England Coast path development in Norfolk and Suffolk provided a lively presentation about the England Coast Path with a particular emphasis on Suffolk and the River Deben. Giles has worked on the England Coast Path for several years, most recently in Essex. His talk covered current routes by the Deben and the challenges faced by Natural England in implementing the plans, local progress and the options for the Coast Path between Bawdsey and Felixstowe Ferry. Giles explained that the England Coast Path was supported with extra funding from the Government in 2014 with the target for completion in 2020. The Path has a statutory framework going back as far as 2009. The Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 established a coastal access duty - to create a long-distance walking route around the English coast (the England Coast Path) which should be accessible to the public on foot. Natural England is charged with its delivery and must adhere to the Coastal Access Scheme which ensures that a balance is struck between the interests of those who own the land and the public in having new access rights over the land. It’s a challenging balancing act, factors which must be taken into consideration include: for the public: proximity of trail to the sea, views, safety and continuity of the path for private interests: operational needs, income, privacy and change of use.

  • The Economic and Health Impacts of Walking on English Coastal Paths: a Baseline for Future Evaluation
    Natural England Commissioned Report NECR283 The economic and health impacts of walking on English coastal paths: A baseline for future evaluation Volume 1 – Baseline Assessment First published January 2020 www.gov.uk/natural-england Foreword Natural England commission a range of reports from external contractors to provide evidence and advice to assist us in delivering our duties. The views in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of Natural England. Background The creation of the England Coast Path (ECP) offers the unique opportunity to establish baseline data and to create a methodology that will enable the future evaluation of the economic, health and social impacts of improvements in coastal access that the ECP will bring. A steering group of experts from Natural England and Defra was assembled to oversee the work. During 2016/17 a contract was let to develop a methodology. In 2017/18 a further contract was let to refine and use that methodology to establish baseline data. The intention is to repeat the methodology after the completion of the ECP in order to quantify the economic, health and social impact of the ECP. This report should be cited as: ICF, Sustrans, Cavill Associates and Blue Island Consulting (2019).

  • The Way of the Sea
    1 The Way of the Sea Jarrow to Warkworth Introduction The Way of the Sea has been set up as one of the new Northern Saints Trails to provide a link between Warkworth on St Oswald's Way and another new Northern Saints Trail, The Way of Learning. Linking these three routes together provides a continuous 124 mile pilgrimage route between Lindisfarne and Durham. This route can of course be walked in either direction. When we think of the Northern Saints like Aidan and Cuthbert, we rightly think of them as great walkers and it’s likely that they will sometimes have walked along this coast, but actually it’s probably more likely that they will have taken the actual way of the sea! Aidan was closely linked with monastic settlements in South Shields and Hartlepool, so he probably sailed from Lindisfarne to those places which would have been quicker and, before the Vikings started their raids, safer too. The Way of the Sea itself is 62 kilometres or 38.5 miles in length. You may occasionally find Northern Saints Trails signs, but this route is the same as the England Coast Path all the way from North Shields to Warkworth so follow the ECP signs which are frequent. Sometimes you may see an acorn symbol as the ECP is one of the National Trails. You will also find Northumberland Coast Path signs between Cresswell and Warkworth. The coastal path itself generally stays on the higher ground, but in some places such as Druridge or Whitley bays you may prefer to walk on the sand.

  • The Special Qualities Of
    Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Draft Management Plan 2020-2024 Part One - The Special Qualities of the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty The Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) is a nationally important landscape, and the most northerly AONB in England. The beautiful landscape that we see today is the result of the complex interaction of many forces, both natural and human, over very long periods of time. In order to conserve this landscape, it is necessary first to discern and describe what is special about it. This is explored in this chapter of the management plan, under the three headings of Landscape, Natural Environment and Cultural Environment. The term ‘natural beauty’ first gained currency in a legislative context in the 1907 Act which gave legal status to the National Trust (‘for Places of Historic Interest and Natural Beauty’). It has been the basis for the designation of both AONBs and National Parks since the 1949 National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act in which however, the term was not defined. S.92 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act formally stated that natural beauty includes conservation of ‘flora, fauna and geological and physiographical features.’ Natural ​ ​ beauty goes well beyond scenic or aesthetic value. The natural beauty of an AONB is to do with the relationship between people and place. It encompasses everything - 'natural' and human - that makes an area distinctive. It includes the area’s geology and landform, its climate and soils, its wildlife and ecology. It includes the rich history of human settlement and land use over the centuries, its archaeology and buildings, its cultural associations, and the people who live in it, past and present.
