Multi Day Trips

If you love walking through stunning scenery, then a holiday on the South West Coast Path is for you.  It’s easy to get to, and with plenty of places to stay you can set your own pace. To help make it simple, on this part of the site we’ve pulled together all the information you need to plan your trip.

From the 630 mile experience page you can find overview descriptions of each days walk along the path, a photo gallery, and nearby places of interest.

The short breaks page takes this a step further and here we’ve put together itineraries ranging in length from a weekend to 10 days, spread across the path, tailored to different walking speeds.

Whilst you can find a lot of information on this site, you will get much more out of your holiday with one of the many guidebooks, and of course a map. Here you’ll also find details of some of the souvenirs and other publications about the Coast Path.

If this is your first walking holiday, take a look at our What to take page, which is full of advice about clothing, footwear, and what to pack into your rucksack.

Once you’ve decided you want to come and walk the path, the next thing to work out is how to get to your starting point, and then home again afterwards. To save finding long-term parking for your car, and then having to return to your start point, we’d recommend using public transport, and our Travel information page has links to timetable and booking information.
