Four ways to explore Wales

Each guide brings together six starting points, walking ideas and nearby places to stay.

The Wales Coast Path follows the coastline for around 870 miles, from the border near Chester to Chepstow. You will find it featured throughout all four regional guides, with local sections to help you plan a short walk, a weekend away or a longer coastal adventure. You do not have to walk it all: choose a stretch that suits your time, interests and experience.
