They had to patrol the entire South West Peninsula on foot every single day, doing so up until 1856, when the Admiralty took over until 1913. Because the coastguards needed to see into every cove and inlet, the path stays extremely close to the coast. This is perhaps why the South West Coast Path is one of the most celebrated walking routes in the UK: it offers unbeatable views along the entire journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-long-does-it-take-to-walk-the-south-west-coast-path\">How long does it take to walk the South West Coast Path<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It entirely depends on your fitness levels, but the 630 mile path is usually walked in 6 &#8211; 8 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-it-legal-to-wild-camp-on-the-south-west-coast-path\">Is it legal to wild camp on the South West Coast Path<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wild camping is not legal in England and Wales but it&#8217;s not an entirely black or white discussion.

That doesn&#8217;t mean this isn&#8217;t challenging though &#8211; one of the most difficult walks is the relatively short trip from Tintagel to Port Isaac, thanks to some steep descents into valleys and long climbs back up to cliff tops. However, the hike is worth it once you reach the beautiful Port Isaac, also known as Portwenn in the TV series &#8216;Doc Martin&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along your journey to Padstow you&#8217;ll pass through Bude too.

Moreover, the 12-mile trek from Perranporth to Portreath is tough, but you&#8217;ll experience some fantastic views, making all that sweat and hard work worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"672\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/perranporth-cornwall.jpg\" alt=\"Perranporth Cornwall\" class=\"wp-image-14338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/perranporth-cornwall.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/perranporth-cornwall-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/perranporth-cornwall-768x516.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, at the end of the week you&#8217;ll get to relax in St Ives, the jewel of Cornwall&#8217;s crown, so you can&#8217;t complain!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"660px\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.osmaps.com\/config?id=163ee02a-b400-4003-ab49-a1dc26e20db0\" title=\"Embedded route\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-swcp-week-four-st-ives-to-lizard\">SWCP Week Four: St Ives to Lizard<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From St Ives it&#8217;s 69 miles to Lizard &#8211; that&#8217;s another six days of hiking.
