Latest Coast Path Diversions
February 10th 2013
Updated 6th April 2013
Virtual drought conditions in early 2012 followed by the wettest year on record has led to a number of winter cliff falls for walkers to be aware of. The South West Coast Path is continually reviewed and checked by an army of wardens from the local authority, Coast Path Team, National Trust and other major landowners and problems are located very quickly and the route revised to take account of any slips.
Those walking the route this season will find sections of the path more tricky and so please be vigilant and use common sense - stay well clear of the Cliff Edges particularly during the winter and avoid the bottom of cliff faces where you are at most risk of any movement.
For up to date information on all of the following closures visit

Please report any problems or potential problems that you notice on the trail by clicking here this will go straight through to the Coast Path Team.
There are many small diversions of a few hundred metres for minor slips or path deterioration that you may not even notice and we are not listing as they will not affect your walk in any major way.
More significant diversions we are aware of that you should allow for in your daily mileage follow. All walkers with Encounter Walking Holidays will as ever be fully briefed on significant diversions in their daily walking itinerary - for those not walking with us please note the following.
In order from Minehead to Poole
Coast Path diversion near Crock Point Exmoor Section
Bridge Washed Away Gannel Estuary near Newquay

The Coast Path Team and their partners are working to resolve these issues and have made great progress with the list since February but some of them will take time and money to reopen fully. Please help with the ongoing repair work by supporting The Great South West Walk celebrations for the 40th birthday of the Coast Path and join in by walking a section to help us fund raise to maintain and improve the nationals best walking route for all walkers.

Special Coast Path Walk
October 16th 2012
The South West Coast Path Association is busy organising a special event to celebrate their 40th anniversary next Spring, with the aim of funding improvement projects throughout the route of the South West Coast Path in Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset.
Walkers will be asked to raise £50 of sponsorship each, so that further funding can be levered from relevant organisations via matched giving. Brian Panton, Chairman of the South West Coast Path Association explains:
Through individual sponsorship, grants, corporate sponsorship and matched giving, the target is to raise £250,000. This will enable over 40 improvement projects spread along the route of the entire path to be completed during 2013. These projects have all been selected to enhance the experience and enjoyment of walkers using the path.
Two Moors Way - Castle Drogo Wins Award
December 22nd 2010
Congratulations to the National Trust and in particular the staff at Castle Drogo just off the Two Moors Way long distance path. They have just received the silver award for Large Attraction of the Year 2010 in a competition that covers all of the many visitor attractions in the West Country.
The last castle to be built in England from a walkers perspective Castle Drogo occupies a superb position above the Teign Gorge Hunters Path which is part of the Coast to Coast Two Moors Way walk. Those walking the sections between Chagford and Drewsteignton at the end of the Dartmoor section of walking visit Castle Drogo on route towards the second moor at Exmoor.

Cape Cornwall joins the South West Coast Path
December 22nd 2010
For years coast path walkers in Cornwall near Lands End have passed the stunning Cape Cornwall peninsular admiring it from the path in the St Just area. The mounded Cape with its tiny ruined chapel and huge chimney has long been a well know spot for spotting dolphins, seals and the distant Scilly Isles but has required a detour off the path.
Thanks to work from the South West Coast Path Association with the National Trust the Cape has now been included on the official route of the trail and from now on all those walking the Lands End Way between St Ives and Penzance will be taken round the only Cape (meeting of two seas) in England.
