ANNOUNCING TRAILBLAZER'S

NEW SERIES TO THE

SOUTH-WEST COAST PATH

COMING THIS MONTH!

 

The South-West Coast Path (SWCP) is Britain's longest national trail and runs for 630 miles (1014km) from Minehead in Somerset along the North Devon, Cornwall, South Devon and Dorset coastline to finish at Poole. It's a spectacular coastal walk that takes most people between six and eight weeks to complete.

This month we'll be releasing the first book in the new three part series to the South-West Coast Path, Exmoor & North Devon Coast Path (SWCP Part 1).  Cornwall Coast Path (SWCP Part 2) and Dorset & South Devon Coast Path (SWCP Part 3) will follow later in summer.

 

Exmoor & North Devon Coast Path

Starting at Minehead in Somerset, the 10-12 day route runs through the Exmoor National Park and, after navigating the whole of North Devon’s coastline - the highest in England - it ends just across the border at Bude in Cornwall.  Read more.
