South West Coast Path

The South West Coast Path is the spectacular 613-mile (9870km) National Trail around the tip of Britain. This volume features the section of the Path from Exmouth to Poole, a distance of 99 miles (160km). Following the Countryside Agency's acorn waymarks, the route wends its way along the cliffs, past The Cobb at Lyme Regis and the impressive sweep of the Chesil Beach to Lulworth Cove and Studland Bay. This is the complete, official guide for the long-distance walker or the weekend stroller. It contains: the entire route split into convenient sections; 1:25,000 Ordnance Survey maps for each section, marked with points of special interest; circular routes off the trail for shorter walks, enabling the walker to explore the local area; route information on each section, with colour photographs and notes on nearby features; background information on local history, wildlife, archaeology, geology, industry and land use; details of public transport, villages on or near the route with facilities for walkers, useful organisations and sources of further information on accommodation; and the Countryside Access Charter on your rights and responsibilities when out in the countryside.
