From the Wikipedia article
The King Charles III England Coast Path (KCIIIECP), originally and still commonly known as the England Coast Path, is a long-distance National Trail that follows the coastline of England. Opened on 19 March 2026 by King Charles III, the trail extends for 2,689 miles (4,328 km). Sections of the English coast already had established walking routes, most notably the South West Coast Path. However, the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 required Natural England, under section 298, to create a continuous coastal path. The first section, along Weymouth Bay, opened in 2012. The walking route is the longest coastal trail in the world, and its total length increases further when considered alongside the Wales Coast Path.

Background
History
Following the establishment of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in 1952, the Welsh naturalist and author Ronald Lockley surveyed a potential route around the coast. This was subsequently constructed and opened in 1970 as the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Lockley's 1953 report for the Countryside Commission was well received and largely adopted. Some sections of the route followed existing rights of way, but most of the land was privately owned, requiring negotiation. The majority of landowners supported the project, and many benefitted from the installation of new fencing. In 2000, the government legislated to introduce a limited "right to roam". The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000…
Description
The route itself is divided into five separate areas, roughly based on the region. These areas are North-East (Berwick to Skegness), East (Skegness to London), South-East (London to Southampton), South-West (Southampton to Aust) and North-West (Queensferry to Gretna). ]]
