Opening new section of Coast Path near Strete, South Devon.

The South West Coast Path owes its unique character to natural processes. Our coastline would not look so beautiful and dramatic if it wasn't for cliff and beach erosion. The downside is that sometimes cliff falls or landslips close sections of the Coast Path and temporary inland diversions, which can occasionally be quite lengthy, are put into place. In these instances, always follow signing and information on the ground or check out Temporary route changes for up to date information.

The South West Coast Path managing partnership is always striving to improve the experience for users, and new and better sections are developed from time to time. For further information see New Path Sections.
