Natural England is working on plans for a long distance coastal walking route called the England Coast Path which is being established as a result of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009.
A number of drop-in sessions have been announced where members of the public will be able to meet the team to discuss how the route is developing from Chewton Bunny to Calshot.
This is an opportunity to give a view as a local resident, landowner and walker.
The project offers an exciting opportunity to improve the coast path between Chewton Bunny and Barton-on-Sea. East of Lymington, the path becomes the Solent Way where there are at present many more unsatisfactory diversions from the sea.
Sensitive solutions should be possible with goodwill and a sharing of local knowledge.
