BBC Radio 4 - Ramblings, Series 35, Mount Edgcumbe, Plymouth

Clare Balding joins a group of refugees and students who enjoy walking together.

Clare Balding and a group of refugees and students, take the Cremyll ferry from Plymouth to Mount Edgcumbe, walking through the deer park to Cawsand village.

Clare Balding joins some of the members of START - Students and Refugees Together, to explore some of the beautiful countryside in easy access of Plymouth. START is a small charity that works with refugees in the city by putting them together with student volunteers to help them become self-reliant and active contributors to their local community. Walks are an important part of the organisation, encouraging refugees to get to know the city and some of the countryside that surrounds it as well as being a way to make friends and practise their English. Clare talks to social worker, Avril Bellinger, who initiated the scheme, about the benefits walking has bought to the group and to the students and refugees who have built such a bond.
Producer Lucy Lunt.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
