The South West Coast Path is Britain's longest National Trail, running from Minehead in Somerset to South Haven Point near Poole Dorset. The path includes two UNESCO World Heritage sites; The Jurassic Coast plus the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape.

This site is the home of the SWCP Association and we are here to help you get the best from the path. By joining us you'll be one of thousands who help us, together with organisations who run and maintain the path, make the SWCP Britain's best National Trail.

AGM 2010 will be held in Dunster, Somerset on Saturday 11th April 2010. More details available here (members only).

Are you a member planning a walk along the path for charity this year? Why not send us a photo and the details of your charity and we'll publicise them on this site.
