The design side of this extensive but enjoyable project was led by Treganna Design. We were tasked by Creative Rural Communities to create a set of walking leaflets and interpretation boards for 10 routes around the Vale of Glamorgan, and were required to work with a steering committee, and so a number of obligations had to be upheld for each part of the project.

We walked each route, noting and plotting anything that required attention. Cazbah wrote new copy based on our walks, and each point of interest was photographed by us and incorporated into the bespoke leaflet design, so that walkers could easily reference where they were by using a combination of the map, the copy and imagery. The way the leaflet worked in practice was well thought out and the design took into account many external factors that could affect the ease of use for a walker when outside.

Backed by a large-scale campaign for encouraging walking in the Vale (including bus sides and outdoor advertising) the leaflet packs have proven a huge continued success with walkers throughout the Vale and surrounding areas.
