Walk the UK’s Best Path – Right from Our Doorstep 🚶♀️✨
Big news from the coast — the South West Coast Path has been stealing the headlines lately!
Not only is the brand new Salt Path movie putting it in the spotlight 🎬, but the BBC and a few others have just voted the stretch between Bude and Westward Ho! as the best walking route in the whole of the UK. 🏆
And guess what? We’re right in the middle of it! 🙌
Why We Love This Stretch 💙
This part of the Path is pure magic — think towering cliffs, hidden coves, dramatic headlands, and endless ocean views 🌅.
You might spot seals lounging on the rocks, seabirds swooping overhead, or just get lost in the sound of the Atlantic waves crashing below.
It’s wild, it’s rugged, and it’s the kind of place that makes you stop and say “wow” every five minutes.
A Few of Our Faves 🥾
You don’t have to walk all 78 miles to experience the magic — here are some of our top picks:
Hartland to Clovelly – Epic views, a bit of a workout, and the reward of Clovelly’s cobbled streets and pretty harbour at the end 🐟⚓.
Hartland Quay to Bude – Wild, dramatic, and guaranteed to fill your camera roll 📸.
Shorter Loops – Perfect for a gentler day out, with picnic stops and plenty of photo ops along the way 🧺🌼.
Stay & Stroll
At Coastal Cabins, we’re just minutes from the Path — so you can roll out of bed, grab your boots, and be walking the UK’s best coastal route before your coffee’s even cooled ☕. Whether you’re here for a full hiking holiday or just fancy a day of coastal exploring, we’ve got the perfect base to rest, recharge, and soak up those views.
✨ Psst… We’ve got a little bit of last-minute August availability for anyone craving a spontaneous seaside escape 🌞. And if you’re more of a September soul, it’s one of our favourite months here — still gorgeous weather, but with the summer crowds thinned out. Perfect walking weather, perfect hot tub weather… basically perfect. 😉
