This remarkable long-distance route traces the entire Welsh coastline, linking dramatic cliffs, sandy beaches, rugged headlands, historic ports and seaside towns. Suitable for through-walkers and section hikers alike, the waymarked route can be enjoyed in shorter segments or as an extended adventure that most walkers complete in 2–3 months. This comprehensive guidebook delivers detailed route descriptions for all 57 stages (16–30km each), presented across 9 logical sections from North Wales to South Wales. Each stage is supported by 1:100,000 mapping, a comprehensive facilities table detailing public transport, accommodation options (from campsites to hotels), refreshments and key amenities. Detailed public transport information covers trains, buses and ferries at major centres like Bangor, Aberystwyth, St David's and Swansea, making it easy to link sections or base day hikes from hubs like Tenby or Caernarfon. Downloadable GPX files provide digital navigation for smartphones or GPS devices, complementing the clear printed maps and descriptions. Passing through diverse landscapes including Eryri (Snowdonia) and Pembrokeshire Coast National Parks and multiple National Landscapes, the Wales Coast Path is both a walking challenge and an exploration of Wales's rich coastal heritage, wildlife and tidal landscapes.
