South West Coast Path

The South West Coast Path is one of the UK’s most iconic long-distance walking routes, stretching for approximately 630 miles along the dramatic coastline of Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, and Dorset. Following the natural contours of the coast, the path offers an ever-changing landscape of rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, hidden coves, and charming seaside towns. Rather than a single continuous climb, the route is characterised by frequent ascents and descents, making it a rewarding but demanding journey that showcases some of the finest coastal scenery in England.

Due to its length and variety, the South West Coast Path is rarely tackled in one go. Instead, it is best enjoyed in manageable sections, each offering its own distinct character – from the steep, wild cliffs of Exmoor and North Devon to the surf-lined shores of Cornwall and the striking formations of the Jurassic Coast in Dorset. Walking the route in stages allows for a more relaxed experience, giving you time to explore local villages, enjoy the scenery, and make the most of nearby places to stay.

To help you plan your journey and find suitable hotels, inns, and B&Bs along the way, we have divided the South West Coast Path into a series of practical sections. This approach not only makes the route easier to navigate, but also allows you to view a wider range of accommodation options within each area, helping you choose convenient and comfortable bases for your walk.
