Transformative Journeys on the South West Coast Path – Lis and Paul’s Story

Walking the South West Coast Path isn’t just about miles. Transformative Journeys is our new blog series sharing real, powerful, and life-changing stories from people whose lives have been enriched by walking this iconic trail. This story comes from a couple who turned a shared love of Cornwall into a life-changing adventure. Inspired by a book and spurred on by retirement, health goals, and the lure of the sea, they spent months preparing—losing weight, climbing hills in the Peak District, and planning their journey down to the last detail.

Transformative Journeys on the South West Coast Path – Sarah’s Story

Walking the South West Coast Path isn’t just about miles. Transformative Journeys is our new blog series sharing real, powerful, and life-changing stories from people whose lives have been enriched by walking this iconic trail. Our first story comes from Sarah, who set off from Minehead in 2015, grieving her father and facing a health scare of her own. What followed was a ten-year journey—walked in stages, in all weathers, and often alone—that helped her process grief, rediscover joy, and reconnect with herself.
