City to the Sea - Regional Trails Initiative
The City to the Sea concept builds on existing foundations across Dorset to link towns, landscapes and experiences across the North East via rail corridors, forest roads and trail networks. It will enable the development of 'trail towns', encourage new business opportunities such as accommodation, guiding and transport services, and support storytelling, interpretation and local identity along the route.
A staged and coordinated approach will allow this vision to be delivered progressively, leveraging existing infrastructure and planned investment (including the North East Rail Trail Stage 3), while positioning the North East as a leading destination for cycling, walking and adventure tourism.
City to the Sea aims to connect the City of Launceston, Dorset and Break O'Day municipalities.
