Festive Walks on the South West Coast Path

At the South West Coast Path our team lives and breathes all things coast path and we don’t pause over the festive season. In fact, our team loves to get out on the path with friends and family and enjoy a good walk whether it’s pre, post or on the big day! As we lead up to Christmas, our team has shared some of their favourite places to walk over the festive period, with many including a great café or pub to stop off in for a hot chocolate or mulled wine.
