Today, 19 March 2026, the King Charles III England Coast Path is officially inaugurated - completing the world's longest managed coastal trail at approximately 2,700 miles around the entire English coastline.
Combined with the Wales Coast Path (870 miles, open since 2012) and Scotland's network of coastal paths, it's now possible to walk the entire coast of mainland Britain - over 4,500 miles.
