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.
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.
