A truly epic trail running holiday along England’s longest waymarked trail, from Minehead to Poole.
From £400 per person
At 630 miles (1,014 km) long, the South West Coast Path is England’s longest National Trail and has good claim to being the most spectacular too.
The route spans a wonderful variety of running, over rugged clifftops, around sheltered coves, harbours, fishing villages and across heather moorland. Out here, you’ll find stirring views over the open sea and the British countryside, alongside devilish daily mileages.
It’s not just the distance that daunts, though: the route constantly rises and falls and will leave your calves whimpering. In fact, it’s more common for runners to attempt it one chunk at a time rather than all in one go.
We offer the South West Coast Path in sections, allowing you to piece together the most suitable route for your time and stamina. Of course, if you’re prepared for the challenge of the whole route, you can run these sections consecutively to cover the entire 630-mile trail.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.
We also organise walking holidays along this route. Find out more.
From £400 per person
40 miles of coastal scenery lies between St Ives and Penzance, forming England’s most westerly point. It’s explored thoroughly by the Far West of Cornwall stage of the South West Coast Path, which winds around quoits and standing stones to visit picturesque towns like St Ives, Mousehole, Lamorna and Sennen Cove. Your trail running holiday will lead you on steep ascents to granite clifftops, dotted with the ruins of old tin mines and carpeted with wildflowers and heather. Some of these miles are truly wild, and all enjoy staggering views across the water below.
