South West Coast Path: classic stages

630 miles is too long for one trip — these are the eight most-walked sections.

At 630 miles, the South West Coast Path is the longest National Trail in Britain. Almost no-one walks the whole thing in one go; most pick a stage. The Cornish stages between St Ives and Land's End and the Dorset Jurassic Coast are the most popular; Exmoor's Lynton to Combe Martin is the wildest.
