An epic walk along the coastline of Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Dorset.
From £295 per person
At 630 miles (1,008 km) in length, the South West Coast Path is Britain’s longest waymarked footpath – and the ultimate challenge for any long distance walker. The route curls around the entire peninsula of Devon and Cornwall, rounds the south-western tip of England at Land’s End, and follows the southern shore through the dramatic scenery of Dorset.
Although we provide some gentler itineraries, expect stiff climbs on jaw-dropping coastal trails; mile after mile of sea views; and plenty of pasties and cream teas enjoyed in quintessential Cornish towns.
So that you can pick your favourite area to walk (or string together several!) we have split the South West Coast Path into ten stages.
Scroll down to select a walking holiday covering your favourite stage.
We also offer a choice of short breaks along the path, as well as a circular walking holiday round the Land's End Peninsula, which you can find on the South West Coast Path Short Breaks page.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.
