Beverley has now been awarded this national accreditation following a successful submission, on behalf of the town, supported by Beverley Renaissance Partnership, East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Beverley Town Council and the Beverley & District Chamber of Trade.
Already a popular town for visiting and local walkers this will further promote Beverley and the walking opportunities within the town and also using the town as a start point for walks beyond the town centre.
A weekend to encourage everyone to take a walk is planned for 15/16 September to celebrate both achieving the award and the many walking experiences in and around Beverley. There will be organised walks and information so that you can plan your own walks whatever your level of mobility.
More details will be available from HU17.net nearer the date.
Many thanks to all the local people and businesses that gave their support to the build up to the submission.
