How long is the Wales Coast Path?

The 870 mile/1400 kilometre route covers the whole of the Welsh seaboard and is the longest and probably the best of all Britain’s long-distance challenges.

The Wales Coast Path starts and finishes close to the ends of the historic 180 mile/285 kilometre Offa’s Dyke National Trail. This means keen walkers can make a complete circumnavigation of Wales; a total distance of around 1,050 miles/1,690 kilometres.

Ever keen for a new challenge, a few hardy walkers had already completed the full circuit within months of the Wales Coast Path’s opening.
