Day Walks

Stroll for a while

The South West Coast Path is just as good for short walks and gentle strolls as it is for long-distance walking, and we have collated walks from all around the path so you are sure to find one to suit your taste.

Most of these are less than 5 miles long – perfect for a half-day walk with family and friends followed by a picnic or pub lunch, but if you are looking for longer walks we have these too.

You can choose from one of the many themes using the buttons on the side, or use the Walkfinder tool, which allows you to quickly narrow down your selection by multiple themes, distance and difficulty.
