In celebration of World Earth Day on 22nd April, we’re highlighting the stunning protected landscapes along the South West Coast Path. Passing through five National Landscapes and two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, our trail is a fantastic place to explore the natural beauty and biodiversity that surrounds us. Discover the protected landscapes along the South West Coast Path.
South West Coast Path Mile Makers, Travel Chapter, give us a pick of their team’s favourite walks on the Coast Path, coupled with a nearby cottage to spend the night.
This week (24th February – 2nd March) is Cornish Pasty Week, a celebration of the thick-crusted, filled pasty with origins dating back to the 13th century. In this blog, we’re diving into the history of this D-shaped pastry, and how today it supports Cornwall’s culture, heritage, and economy.
In this latest instalment of our Inspired by the Coast series, we talk to Laura Nunn, the Devon-based printmaker and illustrator behind The Black Pug Press, whose art is inspired by her love of nature, cold water swims, and adventures on the South West Coast Path.
Today, 5th December, is International Volunteers Day, and we’re sharing stories from three of our fantastic volunteers across the SWCP.

As the clocks have gone back and the days are getting shorter, SWCPA comms volunteer Barney Munn reflects on walks that help blow away the cobwebs this autumn/winter season.
