The South West Coast Path Association are the champions and protectors of the UK’s longest and best-loved National Trail.

With 630 miles of scenic coastal route, Starting at Minehead in Somerset and running right around the coast of Devon and Cornwall before finishing at Poole in Dorset, our mission is to protect, and enhance the path, and empower individuals to engage with and enjoy this beautiful asset.

From community outreach projects to path improvement works, the Association works hard to ensure that the Path is maintained, accessible, and a sustainable resource for future generations to enjoy. With 50 years of hard work behind us, we’re here to ensure the Path meets the needs of its users for the next 50 years and beyond.

Each mile of the South West Coast Path costs around £1400 a year to maintain. With increasing costs from climate change, erosion and storm damage, we’re on a mission to ensure that the Path is here for future generations to enjoy. We can’t imagine the South West Coast without it – can you?
