Daydreaming of your next outdoors adventure? 🥾

Whatever time of year you choose to embark on your journey of the SWCP, your experience will be unique. In spring and summer, coastal heathland comes alive with gorse and heather, butterflies, insects and wildflowers, and the towns buzz with holiday-goers 🌼 and whilst the days are shorter in autumn and winter, the Path is still busy with overwintering and migrant birds, and the dark night skies allow for a vast display of stars to be seen by the naked eye 🌌

When are you planning to begin your adventure and what are you hoping to experience this year? ✨

Something to quench your thirst in 2025 🍻

This has to be one of my favourite stretches of coast line in Cornwall. Some amazing views, beautiful places, and fantastic St. Austell Brewery inns.

We’re thrilled about the upcoming *The Salt Path* film, bringing the inspiring story of Raynor Winn’s journey on the South West Coast Path to life. As a walking company, we celebrate the power of walking to transform lives, and this film highlights the resilience, discovery, and beauty that walking offers. It’s a must-watch for adventurers and nature lovers alike!
