Quentin Grimley
Ranger, Glamorgan Heritage Coast, (Vale of Glamorgan Council)
Coastal Access Project Officer
Belinda has worked as a Ranger at the Glamorgan Heritage Coast for over 20 years. Her work involves practical on-the-ground work including path improvement, replacement of stiles, way marking and general countryside management. The Wales Coast Path runs through the Glamorgan Heritage Coast, a stunning stretch of the Welsh coastline, and her recent work has involved improving the path in readiness for the official opening.

Quentin has worked on the Wales Coast Path Project since just after it started in 2007. He joined Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) in 1996 and has worked on National Trails, Open Access and Access Forums. There is considerable overlap between his work and hobbies as he is a keen walker and cyclist. He had walked Offa's Dyke Path, Glyndŵr's Way and much of the Welsh coastline before starting his current job. He has now completed the entire circuit – apart from Pembrokeshire.

He has looked forward to the opening of the Wales Coast Path this May as an opportunity to draw breath and take stock. He hopes to be involved in its future development.
