Pat ‘The Hat’ Bowman, chair of the TRA, said that it was a “dream come true” to see the trail map he wanted to create finally come to life, after 5 years of battling through fundraising challenges and delays caused by the pandemic, and just 3 months after asking Havens Community Hub to give project support, it was completed and launched.
Jacqui Flavell, Project Manager for Havens Community Hub said, “We are so pleased to have been able to bring this project to fruition. To see so many people come out to take part in the launch and support this community activity is amazing.”

Aimee Harman, Peacehaven Town Council, Cllr. Cathy Gallagher, Telscombe Town Council, magician Sam Jones (semi-finalist from Britain’s Got Talent) and the Telscombe Trail Fairy (Becca Woolven).
The walk map encourages both visitors to the area and residents to discover the history of Telscombe via the trail.
Local communities benefit in many ways from walks in their local areas. They improve physical health, mental well-being and promote community cohesion.
The free ‘Magical Telscombe Trail’ map is available from the Telscombe Civic Centre and will be available soon in many local community locations.
