South West Coast Path

How long is South West Coast Path?

South West Coast Path is mapped at 1,033 km (642 miles) in the TrailsPals route library. The line is stored at the library maximum of 3,000 points, simplified from the OpenStreetMap relation. Mapped length counts every section in the relation, including alternatives and connectors, so a specific end-to-end trip can measure less.

Where does South West Coast Path go?

The mapped line lies in Europe, between 49.96°N and 51.24°N and between 5.71°W and 1.93°W. That bounding area measures roughly 267 km east to west and 142 km north to south. It describes how far the mapping reaches, not the distance you would travel.

Is South West Coast Path open right now?

This page cannot tell you. TrailsPals shows condition reports left by other travellers on the map, and those are unverified: nothing here establishes that a hiking trail is open, legal or safe to use. Check the land manager or route authority close to departure.

Can you follow South West Coast Path in TrailsPals?

Yes. Loading South West Coast Path in the iPhone app gives you the line to follow, an off-route nudge, condition reports from other travellers, and a watch link someone at home can open without installing anything. Live updates need a data connection, and TrailsPals does not contact emergency services.

Before you go

Plan the trip before you follow the line: tell someone where you are going and when you expect to be back with a check-in plan, and share a live location link so they can see your progress without installing anything. Read how accurate phone GPS is on a trail and what to do if you lose the route. For shorter walks, browse the city trail guides.
