The South West Coast Path is Britain's longest, and one of its most-loved, national trails. Stretching 630 miles (1,014 km) along the coast of Somerset, Cornwall, Devon, and Dorset, the trail explores some of England’s most beautiful, historic, and wildlife-rich sections of coastline. The start of the trail, in Minehead, is marked by this magnificent metal sculpture of a map held between two hands.

A beautiful and original design idea for the starting point of a long-distance hiking trail. The basic idea of two hands holding a hiking map is actually quite obvious – you just have to think of it.

Information about this hiking trail is, of course, no longer only available on printed maps or in books, but also in the digital world. If you'd like to explore the topic online, you can click here =>> nationaltrail.co.uk/en_GB/trails/south-west-coast-path
