The South West Coast Path (SWCP) is the longest national trail in the UK, and wraps around England’s southwestern peninsula, taking in some of the best views and villages in Cornwall. At 630 miles long it covers a remarkable continual coastline. The entire SWCP can be thru-hiked or section hiked, with week-long recommended routes forming key sections. This guide covers the 6-day long Atlantic Coast section of the SWCP, following Cornwall’s rugged northern coast from Padstow to St. Ives.
