The south west coast path –start.

We are in the seaside town of Minehead, Somerset. Famed for a few things including the holiday resort of Butlins and the West Somerset Railway but few people in our country would know it is the start point for one of our longest and most attractive long-distance footpaths. I have walked on quite a few stretches of that path during my life but never imagined to stand at this point. A fitting tribute here with this sculpture showing an open map of the route.

The South West Coast Path is England's longest waymarked long-distance footpath and a National Trail. It stretches for 630 miles, running from Minehead in Somerset, along the coasts of Devon and Cornwall, to Poole Harbour in Dorset.
The PiP shows an example of the path route.
