Wales Coast Path, Coastal path in Wales, Great Britain.
The Wales Coast Path is a continuous trail that circles the entire Welsh coastline, passing through dramatic cliffs, coves, and sandy beaches. The route connects larger coastal towns with smaller harbors and moves through different landscapes, from industrial areas to green coastal regions.
The trail was created to make Wales's coastline accessible to the public and was fully opened in 2012. It passes by medieval castles and fortifications that are hundreds of years old and tell the region's story.
The trail passes through small coastal communities where you can see fishing traditions still alive and local markets selling regional food. The Welsh language appears on signs and in the villages you walk through, connecting you to the local way of life.
The trail is divided into sections, allowing visitors to choose individual parts for day walks or longer trips. Coastal towns along the route have regular accommodations, shops, and food options, making it easy to take breaks.
Wales was the first country in the world to create a continuous walking trail along its entire coastline and make it open to everyone. This achievement has made it a model for coastal access around the globe.
