Dartington to Totnes
Foot- and Cyclepath
In 1989 Shared Habitat initiated the Dartington to Totnes Foot- and Cyclepath. Since its completion in 1991 the path has had a unique positive social and ecological impact. Eila Goldhahn 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, avoiding a dangerous road.
Dartington Trust have a nice website about the path and we hope to receive acknowledgment for our work: https://www.dartington.org/visit/walks/totnes-dartington-path/

Shared Habitat’s original proposal was to connect Totnes with Buckfastleigh. Thirty years later, new local groups are campaigning to complete the path to Buckfastleigh.
