✨ Progress Update - Coalburn–Douglas 10K Active Travel Path 🛤️

Construction on the Douglas–Poneil section is picking up pace from windblown tree clearance, installing new fencing to stripping paths in preparation for the next phase."

Adventure ahead—watch this space!🌿

The Coalburn–Poneil stretch of the Active Travel Path to Douglas is nearly finished and looks brilliant. Cobbles and tar help cattle reach water and if you’ve ever puffed your way up the steep climb near Wallace’s Cave, you’ll be glad to see the zig-zag stretch easing the way🚶‍♀️🐄

An update on the new Active Travel Path being constructed from Coalburn to Douglas.

The weather has allowed good progress to be made on the new section of path which is making its way over to Wallace's Cave, from Poneil.

It's going to be a fantastic route when complete!
