About
Wales is the first country in the world to have a formal trail the whole way around its coast. The Wales Coast Path (which is 870 miles long) joins up with Offa’s Dyke Path to provide a 1,030 mile trail around the Welsh border.
The Welsh coastline has many contrasts and offers something for everyone: from cliff top walks to estuary wanders, picturesque fishing villages to vibrant cities, industrial heritage to unconquered castles, desolate windswept beaches to bustling seasides. Whether you’re here for a single hour or an entire weekend, the Wales Coast Path has a lot to offer.
The 870 mile long Coast Path winds its way through towns and villages, across cliff tops and sandy beaches, sometimes darting inland before emerging once again at a sheltered cove or tiny hamlet that you would forever miss when travelling by car, bus or train.
Starting at Chepstow in the South East corner of Wales, you'll follow the path route along the waterfont of Cardiff Bay and the Vale of Glamorgan Heritage Coast towards west Wales.
Walking around the West Wales coast, you'll travel along the miles of golden sand via the Gower Peninsula, on through Britain’s only coastal National Park in Pembrokeshire towards the Cardigan Bay coast and the stunning coves and beaches of Mid Wales.
At the northern end of Cardigan Bay its on to the Llyn Peninsula and then on to the Isle of Angelsey. Return over the Menia Strait along the north Wales coast with its seaside towns to journey's end at the mouth of the River Dee.
