Nestled in the heart of Dorset, The Sunray in Osmington is the perfect place to unwind after a day on the South West Coast Path. With beautifully restored cottages, a welcoming pub and stunning coastal walks nearby, it offers a memorable seaside escape. As a Way Maker business, The Sunray also helps support and protect the trail.
In this Q & A, Mike Radford, Vocational Development Officer at St Petrocs (Cornwall-based homeless charity) reflects on the value of the partnership between St Petrocs and the South West Coast Path Association, and the positive impact of the Coast Path Connectors project.

At the South West Coast Path Association we are fortunate to work with a range of diverse businesses that enjoy the Path as much as we do! One of these businesses is Whirlwind Sports, a sports retailer based in Cornwall who don’t just work near the South West Coast Path, they live in rhythm with it. The team at Whirlwind have written this guest blog to talk about their passion for the Path.
Welcome back to our blog series, ‘A Taste of The Salt Path’, where we share 3-day walking itineraries featuring filming locations from The Salt Path, with quotes from Raynor Winn’s best-selling memoir. In this fourth walking itinerary, we walk the Cornish coast from Boscastle to Padstow, tracing clifftop paths, remote coves, and fishing villages, ending with a ferry ride into one of Cornwall’s most beloved harbour towns. Expect dramatic ascents and descents, hidden valleys and headlands, and sweeping views across the Atlantic.
