Walking holidays on the UK's
South West Coast Path
Enjoy a self-guided
walking holiday on the UK's 630 mile long South West Coast Path, the longest
of Britain's 15 National Walking Trails.
This suggested itinerary is based on the Trailblazer guide books.
The
path starts in Minehead, Somerset, then moves along the north coast of Devon,
goes around Cornwall and Land's End, along the south coast of Devon, and
then finally along the Dorset coast to Poole Harbour.
We don't expect
you to do the whole walking trail in one holiday! Take your time and enjoy
the scenery and wildlife. And we organize the luggage transfer so your bags
are at your next accommodation when you arrive.
Role over the
route on the map of the South West Coast Path or click on the route title
below to find out more. You can take a walking holiday on the South West
Coast Path between March and October and in either direction.
These are only
suggested walks.
If you would like to walk longer or shorter distances, we can arrange that
too. We pride ourselves in offering the widest choice of bespoke walking
holidays on the South West Coast Path.
The
South West Coast Path is based on the paths trodden by generations of coastguards
as they patrolled the cliffs and coves searching for smugglers.

The
South West coastline is stunning with many changes of scenery: magnificent
cliffs with views of Lundy, one of the largest sand dune systems in Britain
now designated an area of special scientific interest, long winding estuaries
with large flocks of wading birds, and vast expanses of sandy beaches making
this area one of the UK's most popular with surfers.
The
South West Coast Path passes through quaint Devon villages with cobbled
streets, picturesque Cornish fishing villages, and headlands to rival Land's
End.
This
is fast becoming the most popular walking holiday destination in the UK.
