Get Involved

So much more than just a walk

Looking after 630 miles is no mean feat and we’re always on the lookout for trail lovers who want to go the extra mile to help support our work. Whether it’s having a go at fundraising, taking part in an event, activity, or campaign, or simply sharing your story to inspire others – there’s plenty of ways to get involved.  

Make a difference

Tell us about your journey

The South West Coast Path welcomes people from all different walks of life, each wanting to take something different from the experience, and almost always walking away with more than they ever anticipated. This is a path where life decisions are made, relationships are forged, grief is given a helping hand and more often than not, you learn a great deal about yourself. How has the Coast Path changed you?

Support the trail you love

It costs £1,500 per mile per year to keep the Coast Path open and in good shape, so that you can enjoy it whenever you like. But we’re facing big challenges with the threat of climate change, so fundraising to look after it is more important than ever before. It can also be a lot of fun! So, whether you want to walk, run or do something else to raise pounds for the Path – we’ll be here to help in whatever way we can.
