Last year the Two Moors Way – Devon’s Coast to Coast walking route - celebrated its 40th anniversary.

False news is not restricted to politics, it can also affect people looking for health advice online.
With so much information available on the internet, it is often hard for people to establish what is published by a reliable source – just because it is on the internet does not mean it is necessarily correct.
Helping to create Cranbrook Healthy Town, Cranbrook’s team of library volunteers and some members of Cranbrook Medical Centre’s Patient Participation Group (PPG) enjoyed finding out about reliable and safe online health information recently.
