Peaceful Places Links

A feasibility study, which aims to assess the need to strengthen links between a new heritage interpretation trail called Peaceful Places and The purpose of the Peaceful Places Links feasibility study by Llandre Heritage was to assess the need for a Development Officer to strengthen links between a new heritage interpretation trail called Peaceful Places and local tourist accommodation businesses in North Ceredigion. 
 
 
Peaceful Places is a heritage tourism trail that was launched in 2014. The trail is a collection of 17 churches and chapels across the north of Ceredigion each of which has its own story to tell. The trail aims to increase accessibility and visitor appeal, with the principal intention of enhancing the local economy, and points visitors to examples of wonderful architecture, art and craftsmanship. 

A report by Consultancy Coop with a review and results of the feasibility study was produced. The study allowed those involved in Peaceful Places to see its potential shortcomings and gave them sound advice on how the trail could be improved to increase visitor footfall and generate more community involvement.
 
A breakdown of the main results of the report are:
  • Break down the 17 churches into themed trails – Lead-mining, Medieval, Upland, Picturesque, etc
  • Create simple maps which can be used by independent travellers on foot, bicycle, or by car to follow these stories by visiting key places, where they can find out more.
  • Create short half-day or whole day experiences based on these themed stories, which should also incorporate other points of interest along the route.
  • Work with local private tourism providers to provide guided tours
  • Works with local accommodation-providers who would see Peaceful Places tours as a useful add-on to their offering
  • Work with the local community
