If you organise walks for people in Pembrokeshire the National Park Authority wants to include you in a new online directory of local walking groups.

The Pembrokeshire Walking Directory will make it easier for people who want to reap the health and social benefits of walking to find the opportunities that are available on their doorstep.

The Authority wants to hear from groups who offer walks as part of their programme of activities and wish to be included in the directory.

National Park Authority Discovery Ranger Tom Moses said: “This new directory will hopefully encourage more people to take part in walking activities regularly and make them aware of the groups and events that already exist nearby.

“There are many organisations that take advantage of the fantastic walking opportunities that we have here in Pembrokeshire, but not everyone is aware of them. We hope it will also help those who set up new groups in the future to promote their group in their area.

"Some people know they want to walk more, but just need that bit of extra support offered by doing so with like-minded people to start and maintain a more active lifestyle.”

The free directory will be hosted on the National Park Authority’s website, and will be launched as part of the Let’s Walk Pembrokeshire initiative in September.

If you are interested in having your group’s details included please send the name of your group, where you are based and contact details to TomM@pembrokeshirecoast.org.uk or visit www.pembrokeshirecoast.wales/walkingdirectory for more information.
