South West Coast Path
The South West Coast Path is perhaps the UK’s ultimate challenge for the long-distance hiker – a 630-mile adventure around the coastline of England’s south west peninsula.
Starting at Minehead in Somerset it runs along the coastline of Exmoor, continuing along the coast of North Devon into Cornwall. It follows the entire coastline of Cornwall, goes across the mouth of the River Tamar and continues into Devon. After running along the south coast of Devon it then follows the Dorset coastline before finally ending at Poole Harbour.
