The South West Coast Path
Britain's longest trail, the South West Coast Path stretches for 630 miles from Minehead, on the edge of the Exmoor National Park, along the coasts of Devon and Cornwall to Poole in Dorset.
The path is an excellent way to see Cornwall's superb coastal scenery, wildlife and heritage.
For shorter walks, spectacular areas of the coast include Crackington Haven, which is one of the loveliest sections of the path, the Lizard, and the Camel estuary, and the Roseland Peninsula.
In its Cornwall section the path traverses a variety of scenery, cliffs, secluded coves, and awe inspiring rock stacks such as the Giant's Stepping Stones at Bedruthan Steps.
Various marine creatures can be sighted, grey seals, turtles, common dolphins and the occasional basking shark. The cliffs are home to a variety of sea birds, cormorants, petrels, puffins, shags, and guillemots.
Many of the landscapes which the South West Coastal Path traverses are Heritage Coasts, including:-
Pentire Point - Widemouth Bay
Godrevy - Portreath
