England Coastal Path

The England Coast Path is a brand new walking route that will follow the coast of England. For the first time people will have the right of access around all our open coast. This includes – where appropriate – any land, other than the trail itself, which forms part of the Coastal Margin. The path is being opened in sections but will, when completed, be the longest coastal path in the world. It will be a National Trail.

At the moment you can only walk some sections. The open sections are shown on the interactive map. As new sections open they will be added to the website maps. You can also see open sections and find out about progress on other sections on the gov.uk website.

In the South East, the following sections are open to the public (as of July 2019):

Camber to Folkestone
Folkestone to Ramsgate
Hopton-on-Sea to Sea Palling
Sea Palling to Weybourne
