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 this page for up to date information.
