Philip's Coastal Paths

Philip's Coastal Paths Synopsis

For seaside and nature enthusiasts, walkers and lovers of landscape, the longest coastal trail in the world is almost complete at 2,700 miles. This inspirational folded map tracks that extraordinary path, integrates it with the Wales Coast path and other trails and identifies the eye-opening highlights en route.

Whether for lovers of nature and the sea, outdoor explorers, hikers, ramblers and walkers or appealing to birders, botanists, history lovers and geographers, this two-sided large fold-out map is an illustrated and informative guide to the longest coastal path in the world. A project that began in the early 2000s (completed by the end of 2026), the King Charles III England Coast Path will be the longest managed coastal path anywhere in the world.

With helpful descriptions of difficulty, incline, beauty and lengths of parts of the path, we track the hugely varied coast of England, connecting the many coastal towns, cities and ports that have shaped these islands, illustrating the rich history and unlocking stretches of coast for the very first time. In addition we outline the magnificent Wales Coast Path which adjoins it to create a unique coastal track.

So whether your interest is in rock formations or seaside plants, pirates and smugglers or the Senior Service, the industrial history of once great ports or an ozone-packed coastal walk, why not improve your health, knowledge and happiness by exploring the world's longest coastal path.
