England’s 2,800-mile Coast Path to open in 2020
Work is well underway on The England Coast Path – a new National Trail around all of England’s coast.
The England Coast Path will be the longest managed and waymarked coastal path in the world. When complete, it will be 2,800 miles/4,500kms in length.
The project should be ready this year (2020), long sections of the route already exist. It is already possible to walk most of the southwest coast, from Southampton round to Bristol along the southwest coastal path, which follows the stunning coastline from Falmouth, in southern Cornwall, to Ilfracombe, in north Devon.
It has been made possible because of the 2009 changes in the right of access that gives everyone the legal right to explore England’s coast for the very first time.
More that just a path, it will give access to beaches, cliff-tops, and most of the wonderful habitats around our coast, as well as former industrial and maritime areas that were significant in Britain’s history.
