The South West Coast Path is the spectacular 630-mile (1008 km) National Trail around the tip of Britain. This volume features the section of the Path from Padstow to Falmouth, a distance of 169 miles (271 km). Following Natural England's acorn waymarks, the route hugs the coast right around Land's End and the Lizard, via the ports of St Ives and Penzance. This is the complete, official guide for the long-distance walker or the weekend stroller. "National Trail Guides" are the official guidebooks to the fifteen National Trails in England and Wales and are published in association with Natural England, the official body charged with developing and maintaining the Trails.
