The longest walk in England leads right the way around the country’s coastline. It’s called the King Charles III England Coast Path, and when it’s finished it will stretch for 2,700 miles. If you were hiking for 10 miles a day, it would take you almost nine months to get from start to finish!
But of course, you don’t need to walk the whole thing to enjoy it. By joining your friends, family or carers on a short coastal walk — with the wind in your hair and waves in the distance — you can have a real adventure.
The English coastline is full of beauty and variety. Try exploring the cliffs and coves around YHA Boggle Hole in Yorkshire, the sandy Blue Flag beach near YHA Littlehampton in West Sussex, or the rugged scenery close to YHA Treyarnon Bay in Cornwall.
And remember. Whatever the season, make sure you’re prepared for your walk. Wear the right clothes to stop yourself getting cold or wet, use strong shoes or boots, and bring snacks and water. And most of all, have fun!
