This is irritating as when we booked through our usual agent no one mentioned the path was closed. The path is popular and the diversion along a narrow single track road is far from ideal and as the season gets busier with families and young children, I fear for their safety. We came across a lot of unhappy walkers who... More

Wembury Point to Bovisands in my favourite stretch and is perfect for a nice long run if your into that kind of thing. Plymouth Hoe is another beautiful sight seeing area.

We did a few sections of this over the last week. Thurlestone - Bantham was great Start Point - was great (but scary in places - I am a wimp where edges are concerned) Hope Cove - Thurlestone is closed due to a cliff fall last November and some on-going conflicts with local landowners, it seems.

Did the section between Land's End and Porthcurno. We are not experienced walkers, but this was I guess a relatively easy walk if you're able-bodied and take your time. Beautiful, rugged, brooding coastal scenery the entire way. Paths for the most part were clearly marked. The path passes very near to the edges of some steep cliffs near Nanjizal, be... More

Just the most wonderful varied views, beautiful beaches, fascinating small fishing villages. Some easy paths and some more difficult, get the info from the South West Coast Path advisors.

If its scenery your after, then the pathways here right up your street. There are walks for the not so fit, the fit and the really fit, with views to die for.
