An epic walk along the coastline of Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Dorset.
From £355 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. Walking the South West Coast Path is a challenge, but an immensely rewarding one.
Scroll down to select a walking holiday covering your favourite stage.
We also offer a choice of short breaks along the path, which you can find on the South West Coast Path Short Breaks page, as well as a walking holiday round the Land's End Peninsula that cuts inland to create a circular tour.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.
We also organise trail running holidays along this route. Find out more.
From £485 per person
East Devon's coastline is a colourful one, its red sandstone cliffs contrasting vividly with the lush green of the surrounding countryside. The path winds east from Exmouth to the old port of Lyme Regis, known for the multitude of fossils encased in the cliffs.
On its way it visits Branscombe, with its whitewashed cob and thatch cottages, Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth, and the old fishing village of Beer, where colourful inshore trawlers are launched from the pebbly beach.
