The Full South West Coast Path

  • Conquer all 630 miles of the South West Coast Path — a challenge of a lifetime
  • Follow in the footsteps of The Salt Path by Raynor Winn on your own inspiring journey

Set off on an unforgettable adventure along England’s longest National Trail — a self-guided journey through ever-changing coastal landscapes, rich maritime heritage, and untamed natural beauty. From windswept headlands and fossil-strewn cliffs to peaceful estuaries and golden bays, the South West Coast Path captures the essence of the British coastline in all its variety. This iconic route also inspired Raynor Winn’s bestselling memoir The Salt Path — a moving story of resilience and reconnection — and walking it offers a similar chance to reflect and recharge in nature. Discover hidden coves, ancient castles, and harbour towns full of charm and character. Wander through picturesque places like St Ives and Padstow, and savour local flavours, from freshly caught seafood to traditional Cornish treats. With the freedom to walk at your own pace and shape the journey to suit your preferences, this is a path that invites both a physical challenge and peaceful escape. Whether you’re drawn by the scenery, the solitude, or the story behind the trail, every step reveals something new — making this one of the most epic and rewarding trails in the UK.
