Wales Coast Path

The Wales Coast Path was the first in the world to follow the entire coastline of a country. There’s much to discover on this 870 mile route, including unspoilt beaches and wildlife on both land and sea. Step back in time with our ancient castles and find a warm welcome in the many pubs and restaurants along the path.
