South West Coast PathThe South West Coast Path is the longest waymarked long-distance footpath in the United Kingdom and a National Trail. It stretches for 630 miles, running from Minehead in Somerset, westwards along the north coasts of Devon and Cornwall to Land's End and then on round the south coasts of Cornwall and Devon then Dorset to finish at Poole Harbour. It picks its way amongst some of the prettiest coasts in the land. The path passes along the Jurassic Coast, which was designated a World Heritage Site in 2001, and also through the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape, also so designated in 2007.

The total height climbed has been calculated to be 114,931 feet; almost four times the height of Mount Everest. (Read more) |
