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 £580 per person
Book a trail running holiday along the northern stretch of Cornwall’s Atlantic Coast, a lively stage of the South West Coast Path that visits welcoming fishing villages and offers the opportunity to pause your run and take in the ruins of Tintagel, the birthplace of King Arthur. The trail wends from Westward Ho! to Padstow over rugged headlands and around secluded coves, sticking to the Coast Path’s well-waymarked footpaths. This run is still a hilly one, but not quite as taxing as North Devon.
