England's Longest National Trail / South West Coast Path / 630 Miles
At 630 miles the South West Coast Path is England's longest National Trail. Three years of walking, over 115,000 feet of elevation, equivalent to climbing Mount Everest 4 times. I have picked some of my favourite moments from those miles and condensed them into 1 video. The entire SWCP in under an hour!

SWCP Day 47 Chapman's Pool to South Haven Point 4K
มุมมอง 8764 หลายเดือนก่อน
The final day!!! It's 7am and I'm walking along the top of Emmetts Hill looking down on Chapman's Pool and what is left of the coast path coming down from Houns Tout. It is easy to see why I had to follow the diversion into Kingston yesterday. The sun is out filling me with joy after the weather the previous day. Not even the 183 steps down and the 218 steps back up the valley before St Aldhelm...
SWCP Day 46 Durdle Door to Chapman's Pool 4K

I woke up to the sound of rain drumming against my tent. It always sounds worse than it is, but this was one of those occasions where it really was that bad. With the rain not forecast to clear until early afternoon, I decided I would pack up and push through it. By the time I had walked the short distance to Lulworth Cove I was drenched. The access along the beach was cut off by both the tide ...
SWCP Day 45 Ferry Bridge to Durdle Door 4K

After surviving a night of 45mph winds, I packed my tent and made an early start. From Ferry Bridge the path continues along the Rodwell Trail, a flat tarmac section, before passing Sandsfoot Gardens and Castle. The path then leads through a tree lined residential area avoiding the old closed route along Western Ledges. The walking remains easy and I was soon in Nothe Gardens. I followed the pa...
SWCP Day 44 Portland - Ferry Bridge to Ferry Bridge 4K
มุมมอง 8826 หลายเดือนก่อน
As Portland is a circular walk with a carpark at the start/finish I decided to walk this stage as a day trip. Starting at Ferry Bridge I followed the right hand side of the causeway, saving the dismantled railway for the return leg. After walking beside the road for a mile or so I decided to climb the pebble bank of Chesil Beach and walk beside the sea instead, much more scenic. At the end of C...

Knowing I had a long day ahead of me, I woke up early and left Burton Freshwater. Leaving the campsite I climbed up Burton Cliff and along a flat cliff top path onto Burton Beach which was empty apart from a couple of fishermen. I climbed gently out of Burton Beach and on towards Cogden Beach. The path at Cogden is along the pebble beach and is tough walking as the ground shifts under your feet...

มุมมอง 1.3K7 หลายเดือนก่อน
A short bus ride from my camp site and I was back on the path in Lyme Regis. I knew that if the tide was out I could walk from Lyme Regis to Charmouth along the beach, but that was not an option when I was there. A steep climb out of Lyme Regis through some fields brought me to Timber Hill, a pretty woodland section with a beautiful display of Bluebells. After clearing the wood I walked along a...
SWCP Day 41 Salcombe Mouth to Lyme Regis 4K
มุมมอง 9778 หลายเดือนก่อน
I woke up early, partly due to to the severity of the walk ahead of me but also due to the wildlife that didn't seem to have a snooze button. The walk started off with a steep climb out of Salcombe Mouth but I was rewarded with one of the best view points/bench's I can remember for many miles, looking down onto Weston Mouth. A pleasant walk through Dunscombe Coppice followed, with wild garlic a...

With some settled weather forecast I packed my bag and headed back to the path. After catching the ferry from Starcross to Exmouth I enjoyed an easy walk along the promenade past the RNLI Satation. A short climb at Rodney Point brought me to The Geoneedle which marks the start of the Jurassic Coast. I continued along grassy cliff tops before reaching the Devon Cliffs Holiday Park and their nois...

A rare appearance from the sun was all I needed to get back on the path. I set off from Oddicombe in the early morning sunshine with the hope that spring had finally arrived. The walk started with a pleasant woodland stretch along Shag Cliff before reaching Watcombe Beach. The path then skirts alongside grass fields before reaching Maidencombe and on beyond Blackaller's Cove, Mackerel Cove and ...

It's a new year and time to get back on the path. I pick it up at Brixham Harbour where I left it 5 months earlier. A short walk around the harbour saw me reach the former WWII artillery compound of Brixham Battery. The picturesque Churston Cove was soon reached followed by a muddy woodland walk on to Elberry Cove and it's 18th century bath house erected by Lord Churston. A series of promenades...

Having had a good nights sleep I packed up camp early, expecting another long challenging day. A gentle start in the early morning light was short lived and I was soon faced with a steep sided grassy valley at Landcombe Cove. The climb was rewarded with a view down to Blackpool Sands. A long climb parallel to a road saw me leave Blackpool Sands and reach the quiet village of Stoke Flemming, pas...

Having waited 2 years the time had finally arrived to head to Dorset to attempt The Jurassic Coast Mighty Hike. 26 miles along some of the most scenic coastline and countryside. The walk was set to be made more challenging as it was forecast to be one of the hottest days of the year! The walk starts at Lodmoor Country Park in Weymouth. Easing you in gently following the bay, followed by a serie...

It's an early start knowing I had around 20 miles to cover. I head into Salcombe where I am left frustrated having to wait an hour for the water ferry. Once across to East Portlemouth I was met with some beautiful views back to Salcombe made even more impressive by the early morning light enhancing the turquoise water. An enjoyable but occasionally exposed mid cliff walk saw me pass Gara Rock, ...

Having successfully crossed the Erme the previous week I was all set for 3 days back on the bath. Starting at Bigbury-On-Sea I soon reached Cockleridge where you are instructed to ring a bell and wave at the thatched cottage to attract the ferryman to take you across the river Avon. Easy but busy paths saw me pass Bantham and on to the magnificent archway of Thurlestone Rock. Shortly after I re...

Love the colours and the views ... Have you thought about getting a drone?
Thank you, it is a beautiful section. Yes I had a drone as you will see if you watch some of my other videos. The conditions that day weren’t good enough for me to fly.
excellent end-to-end edit for the whole path, really appreciate how you filmed the scenery and added a few captions so we can keep up with where you are along the way.
Thanks Will. Not sure if you are aware but I have uploaded a full video of each day. This video is a cut and paste job of some of the highlights. It was quite a job cutting 630 miles into one video. Glad you liked it.
Suggestions keep enjoying life. Many of us can not do the hiking and see the views your sharing. So thank you for sharing the beauty of life. God bless you and all you love.
Thank you John, same to you.
Nice one Paul! Congratulations on completing. I’ve been watching your journey for the past couple of years for inspiration for my own trip, really enjoyed each upload! You’ll have to turn around and walk back now surely?
Thanks Jonathan. Have you made a start yet?
@@pilgrimpaul7798I’ve made it to St.Ives so far over two trips. Onwards to Falmouth for leg 3. Wish me luck!
Well done. Lovely video.
Thank you
This might be one of my favourite films ever 🙌 I'm barely 10 minutes in, and it's bringing back so many great memories ❤️
I had a great time putting this one together looking back on some of my highlights. Glad you enjoyed it too.
Great video Paul, have watched the series so good to catch up on total journey. Very well filmed throughout and inspiring me to do the walk one day. Look forward to the next adventure!
Thanks Nigel. It was fun putting this one together, so many great memories. I hope you do get out and walk some/all of the path, it really is worth the hard work.
Hi Paul, wow, loved your highlights of your mammoth SWCP journey! Enjoyed watching those parts we’ve done and recognised but also great getting insight of what’s still to come! Looking forward to your next adventure, kind regards, Simon and Elaine
Thank you both. It was hard trying to keep the video at a manageable length, so many great views.
From the bottom of my heart. Thank you for this video. Will be watching it again and again Bless you for putting this together
You’re very welcome. I’m glad you like it. I had a great time putting it together, brought back lots of great memories.
Amazing work! The landscapes in this video are stunning. Great scenes! sub & 👍62
Thank you 🙏
Fantastic video paul thanks I still have plymouth to Poole to do after watching this I've got some great sections coming up Cheers brian
Ah yes you have some amazing walking ahead of you. South Devon/Dorset is fantastic. Hope you enjoy it.
@pilgrimpaul7798 thanks Paul I'm looking forward to may 25
Having watched all of your SWCP videos Paul we were delighted to watch the whole lot in one video. Made for a lovely evening viewing and reminiscing for us as we walked the whole thing too a few years ago. We would love to go back now that we film all our walks and film it as you did, though it would be hard to live up to your videos. We found doing the relatively flat Norfolk Coast Path over 5 days tough enough for us to video 😄 and these were ‘silent’ videos which is probably easier. Love your music choice too. Looking forward to your future adventures, all the best Tim & Selina
You should go back and walk it again if you have the drive to do it. I’m sure I will walk it again one day and probably without the camera. Everyone is different, some people don’t appreciate the music on the videos, or my waffling or my walk by shots. It is hard initially to hear that feedback but I just put the videos together and f it makes me smile that is good enough for me.
Great video really gives the scale of this walk, brought back some lovely memories when me the dog and the wife completed it in 2016.
I would have loved to do it with my dog but it was nice that he was there to meet me at the finish.
Good idea. I am looking forward to it!
Thank you Paul, I watched and followed your individual episodes, the "match of the day" highlights was great as well, fantastic achievement
Match of the day 🤣 I like that. I suppose that would make me Gary Lineker!
Absolutely stunning video Paul, I have book marked it.
Thank you. Don’t tell anyone but even I have watched it a couple times 🤣
@@pilgrimpaul7798 Really enjoy all your content Paul. Would love to do the whole coast path myself one day.
Excellent and very interesting although I was a bit tired when I reached the end 😊
🤣 so was I!!!
Nice one…….beautifully encapsulating an epic trip. Was good to say hello to you out there on the path along the north Cornish coast many moons ago. Inspirational stuff - keep on trucking!
Thank you Jon. Where did we meet, your profile picture is too small for me to be able to recognise you from that.
@ Believe around Portreath? I think it was April 20th or 21st 2022. Was walking northwards towards Minehead - and I asked what path was like as you headed south. Recollect it was you from that bright green rucksack!
Lieber Pilger Bruder Paul 🙂 Herzlichen Dank für die vielen wunderschönen Bilder von deinem SWCP 🙂. Deine freundliche Art, mit den guten Kommentaren machen ein Kunstwerk daraus 🙂. Zuerst bin ich an deiner Seite mitgewandert, dann selber auf dem Pfad, 2023 und 2024 ... und 2025. Bleib gesund und nimm uns noch auf viele Wege mit 🙂. Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz, Beat Weber Dear pilgrim brother Paul 🙂 Thank you very much for the many beautiful pictures of your SWCP 🙂. Your friendly manner, with the good comments make it a work of art 🙂. First I hiked alongside you, then on the path myself, in 2023 and 2024 ... and 2025. Stay healthy and take us with you on many journeys 🙂. Kind regards from Switzerland, Beat Weber
That’s a very nice message, thank you. I hope you enjoy the rest of your walk along the path.
Amazing :) well done. I have loved watching your journey and I have used ( and will continue to use your videos ) as I continue on my own quest to complete the whole path. Your videos have been a huge source of inspiration to me so thank you :)
Thank you. The knowledge that these videos have been useful to others is great. I hope you enjoy the rest of your walk.
Epic , thank you for sharing this Paul, what a lifetime of memories to look back on 😎👌
My wife always laughs at me when I watch my own videos 🤣
Just epic……Thank you for all the vids Paul!!
Glad you have enjoyed them. 🙏
.....and I love to hear the beautiful music with it again... Well done for the work Paul. I loved the series. On my watchlist for tonight.
Glad you enjoy the music. I spend a lot of time trying to find the right track to match the scenery, weather or my mood.
Great recap Paul. Really enjoyed it. Not much coverage of the beach at West bexington though? Thanks for sharing your journey and good luck for your next adventures 👍
It was so hard to fit it all in and keep the video to a manageable time. I tried to make each day 1 minute long but I failed to do that on some of the days as there were too many spectacular views.
"SWCP. The movie." I've grabbed the popcorn, now settling in to enjoy!
🤣
Epic mate , what an achievement. Bucket list stuff that
Putting this video together was great as it reminded me of all those special moments.
Jealous, isn't quite the word..
Wow! This is so great😀Feet up,big cup of tea,nobody talk to me for the next 55 minutes!!
🤣
Amazing adventure and achievement! Loved this series, thank you
Thank you ☺️
Great summary video Paul. Well done mate..😊
Thanks 🙏
Looking forward to the next adventure
I have purchased a couple of new books to help plan my next walk. 1 of them is a biggy!!
Thanks Paul for giving me an excuse to rewatch the whole series 🎉
Glad to be of assistance 🤣
Well done Paul, loved watching you make your way around this. Not sure I'll ever finish it but your videos are a mist watch guide to each section
Thanks Chris. Just keep walking, the end comes soon enough.
Congrats on finishing the SWCP
Thank you 🙏
Congratulations 👏👏👏 Your channel helped give me the confidence to tackle to SWCP.👍 I completed it on 7th August as a single thru-hike over 67 days. I’ve set my sights on Offa’s Dyke in 2025 and I swore never to return to the SWCP, but it’s beginning to call to me to do it again and leverage everything I learnt this year 🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations on your completion. I think the coast path will always be a draw to people that have walked it. I am busy planning my next walk but like you I am already missing the coast path.
I've watched many walking challenges, but yours come at the top of the pile; attention to detail; no shaky shots or dodgy audio. Well done Paul, a great experience all round - the thing is, what’s next, I'm thinking of the Cleveland way. Happy walking.
Thank you David. Believe me, there are plenty of shaky shots, thankfully I’m not live and can remove them all during editing 🤣 I am thinking of the Devon C2C, maybe the WHW later in the year. Let me know what you think of the Cleveland Way.
@@pilgrimpaul7798 The C2C looks very interesting, but for me in my late 70's, camping is a distant memory and B and Bs are a bit thin on the ground, but I look forward to seeing your progress if you deside to go ahead. I'v not done the WHW, I used paths on the east coast on my travels to the top; again I look forward to your exploits in the west. Enjoy
Do it again love your company what will we do this winter
Thanks Delcia. I am hoping to be back out walking again soon so hopefully you’ll see me before winter hits.
Congratulations Paul on completing such a long walk. Such a huge achievement. It must be overwhelming to have completed the entire length from start to finish. You have done well to keep filming it all too and to produce such entertaining and informative videos. Day 46 certainly looked arduous in the wind and rain. We were a bit late watching the final two days as we were on holiday but great to come back to. Extremely Well Done You!!😃👏👏🥇
Hi both, hope you had a good holiday. It was a very strange feeling as I walked along Studland Bay. I tried to portray how I was feeling in the video but it was hard to put it into words. Day 46 was so tough but is now a great memory and stands out when looking back on the entire journey. I will be back out walking another trail soon.
Paul you are the greatest!!! I’m your biggest fan, this video was the best. Thank you for your content 👍
Thanks mate. I’m glad you enjoyed the final day. It was a great walk and was so nice to finish with the sun shining on me.
Was at Kynance Cove last week. So beautiful
That was my only time there and it was beautiful. I must go back and allow myself to enjoy it for a while.
Hi Paul brilliant,,and a special well done on your SWPath achievement,,I have followed you all the way, even I got emotional seeing you finish at Haven point,,your determination is second to none,and probably inspired many more walkers to take up the wild camping ⛺️ and trekking,,myself I have covered so far 227 miles on the SWP and will be back soon I hope ,,once again well done Paul ,, I will look out for your next adventure,,ps just completed the South Downs Way Paul 100 mile in 7 Days if you want to try 😀🏃♂️very tough course Winchester to Eastbourne,,all the best Paul Stewart Devizes Wiltshire 👍👍⛺️🏃♂️
Thank you Stewart. It was an emotional moment for me too. You are approaching half way on your walk, don’t miss the marker at Porthallow. Thank you for the recommendation. I will look into that walk and add it to my list. See you again soon.
Take care Paul ,,👍👍
Well done Paul 👏🥾🏕️👏 really enjoyed ya videos mate, hope to make a start myself next year. Look forward to what you do next 👍👍
Thank you. The path is incredible. There are times where I found it very hard and I was ready to stop, but by the next morning I was always excited to get started again. I hope you enjoy it too. I’ll be back out on my next trail soon.
Yes I know that feeling mate! I did St Cuthberts Way last week and felt like that at the end of days 2 and 3, funnily enough that finishes on the ‘Pilgrim’ path to Holy island 😀👍
well done paul followed you all the way and i will watch them all right through again ,ive walked a lot of swcp and it is very difficult walk so well done to you.
Thank you. I can certainly confirm it is difficult 🤣
Congratulations on completing this wonderful path. I am currently as far as Starcross and understand your emotions on finishing. Your journey has not just helped me along the way with information but also inspiration. Hopeful that others watch and may walk all or even just some of the path and enjoy the amazing things it has to offer. Enjoyed all your posts and will look forward to more I’m sure.
Thank you Steven. You will be at Studland Bay before you know it. As you know the path is the most incredible experience. If people watch any of these videos and it helps them to get out and try a section that would be great. I’ll be back out walking soon.
Well done paul. Followed you from the beginning and enjoyed every vid. Look forward to whatever adventure you have planned in future👏
Thank you for watching Richard. Glad you enjoyed them. I am busy planning my next walk and will be back soon.
Congratulations Paul, absolutely amazing achievement! I’ve watched every one and I’ve enjoyed every bit!! it’s something I’m thinking of doing. Cant wait to see what’s next, keep on walking👍🏼👍🏼🥇
Thank you Neil. I can’t praise the path enough, it really is special. I hope you do get the chance to walk it. I’ll be back out on a trail again soon.
Amazing effort, I am going to miss these! da iawn a dioch yn fawr
Thank you. I will miss it too. Maybe the Welsh Coast Path will be one for the future.
