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 £770 per person
Here in North Devon, the South West Coast Path tackles the demanding climbs and descents of the highest coastline in England. Dramatic landscapes abound, from the jagged sandstone pinnacles at the Valley of Rocks to the gorge at Heddon Mouth.
It’s not all hilly terrain: the coast softens as the walk progresses, taking in coastal oak woodlands and sweeping sandy beaches. It dips into seaside villages on its way, and even visits the smallest complete parish church in England: Culbone.

Currently trying to find a timeslot for the next section of the SWCP. Probably in July 2023, but I will only book that after my walk on the Cleveland way in August.”Ms Herter, Austria

“Dear Contours Team. I just wanted to write to thank you all for organising my 49 day holiday, walking the whole of the South West Coast path. Following the first point of contact, my holiday was arranged, B&Bs booked and taxis organised where needed. All information was given re how to find my accommodation at the end of my walk, contact phone numbers and info re river crossings. All went according to plan and I have had a brilliant walking holiday! (and not too many wet days!) Taxi firms were brilliant. All so cheerful and helpful. I would certainly use your company again!”Ms Dicker, UK
