The England Coast Path, Book 1: The South Coast (River Thames to River Exe)

About this book

The England Coast Path is a new long-distance path around the whole coast of England. At 2800 – miles, it is the longest coastal path in Europe and provides an important opportunity for exploring the peripheral landscape of this maritime country.

This is the first in a series of four guidebooks providing the most thorough information for walking the entire route. It covers over 700 miles along the south coast of England from the River Thames in London to the River Exe in Exmouth. Covering the coastlines of Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight, this varied route takes in dizzying chalk cliffs, estuarine marshes, long beachfront promenades, densely wooded undercliffs and many more rewarding landscapes.

While the whole route has yet to be fully opened, the South Coast section is almost entirely accessible and this book provides alternatives to those few stretches that are not. There is information on public transport, parking, accommodation, campsites, refreshments and local history. Whether you are walking the route in small sections or all in one go, this is the perfect companion for the England Coast Path.
