Somerset Coast Path

The Somerset Coast Path was opened in 2016 as part of ongoing plans to develop a full England Coast Path, showcasing the full range of the country’s coastal beauty. This attractive walking holiday stretches from Weston-super-Mare across Somerset’s unsung Jurassic coastline to the start of the South West Coast Path in Minehead, taking in a variety of stunning scenery along the way.

As well as taking a bracing walk along the dramatic ridge of Brean Down, this largely low-level trail boasts fascinating fossil beaches, quaint seaport villages, rugged peninsulas with brilliant views of the wildlife below, and some of the longest sands in Europe, offering plenty to see and explore while enjoying the quiet atmosphere and incredible views throughout.

Choose from a range of itineraries to perfect your walking holiday on the Somerset Coast Path.
