The South West Coast Path National Trail runs along the entire length of the Jurassic Coast.

The Coast Path offers the walker stunning views, with a bird's eye view of many coastal features. From the Coast Path you can experience the drama of sheer cliff faces, wonder at the strangely eroded rock formations and above all, witness how the geology within the coast reveals itself - showcasing the Earth's History over the last 250 million years.

A network of local footpaths link to the coast path and make circular walks possible.

Guided walks and events take place throughout the year and details can be found in the What's On Guide on this website and in Tourist Information Centres along the coast. All Visitor Centres and many museums offer regular walks, talks and other events.

The South West coast Path is easy to follow - just look out for the acorn symbols as you make your way along the path.
