Welcome to the South West Coastal Path

The South West Coastal Path is surely the greatest coastal walk in the UK. 630 miles of beautiful scenery, charming villages, and challenging walking. And anyone who has walked the long distance path will agree that all of it is worth a look.

But that may not be much help to someone deciding which part to walk - how to choose? This site helps you find the right stretch for your next trip - the best walks, the most charming pubs and restaurants, and really special places to stay.

For the 10 best walks, click on Walks, then Great Walks. For pubs and restaurants to remember, and places to stay that are really special, just click on the appropriate tab. And to see it all together, the main map on this page shows all the recommended features at a single view.  And we'd welcome your favoured walks, tips on accommodation and eateries - and your best photos.
