South West Coast Path

We entirely agree with the Lonely Planet when they say that the South West Coast Path is one of the top walks to be found anywhere in the world! There are 630 miles in total but you could do just a bit – a gentle stroll or a strenuous hike to a deserted cove. The heritage, wildlife, geology and scenery along the way are truly inspirational and every day walking it brings stunning new experiences.
