A full introduction provides the route's historical background, advice on accommodation along the route and details on travelling to and around the South West.There is detailed information on how to use this guide to make the most of your walk, whether you choose to walk the whole route in one go or decide to achieve sections at intervals.Day-by-day route summaries accompany the 45-day stages and the final inland coast walk.The guide is illustrated with the author's own stunning photographs and with Ordnance Survey maps.For those with interests in history, geology, photography (or just walking) there is no other such route.

The South West Coast Path is described from Minehead to Poole. The tradition of walking the route anti-clockwise has arisen because in this direction there are more miles with the wind and weather behind you than against you.

To assist forward planning of both day walks and continuous long-distance hikes, the guide divides the coast path into sections, beginning and ending where there are amenities for refreshment or accommodation (or access inland to them).

Each section begins with a summary of its length, the kind of terrain and gradients to be expected, along with details of amenities and access points. An attempt has been made to grade the walking for difficulty, although such an exercise will always be subjective.

Whether your coastal journey is a modest jaunt or a long-distance trek, you will surely gain new perspectives, a sharpening of the senses and a fuller appreciation of the interplay between nature and the hand of man.
