Dartington to Totnes
Foot- and Cyclepath
In 1989 Shared Habitat initiated the Dartington to Totnes Foot- and Cyclepath. They negotiated rights of way with Dartington Trust, worked with the national charity SUSTRANS and Totnes and Dartington communities. The path was built with the help of a committed group of volunteers and has become a much loved, safe route for cyclists, walkers and wheelchair users alike.
Shared Habitat’s original proposal was to connect Totnes all the way with Buckfastleigh (map drawn by Juliet Robertson of NUTSHELL Natural Paints). Thirty years later, new local groups are campaigning to complete the path to Buckfastleigh.
Shared Habitat are very excited about this and thank all involved.
