King Charles III opens world's longest coastal path around England (UK) 19/Mar/2026

King Charles has inaugurated a new footpath stretching around the entire coast of England. At 2,689 miles long, it is the longest managed coastal walking route in the world, according to Natural England, the government body which created it. Its name is quite a trek too - King Charles III England Coast Path - but for the first time it creates a continuous trail, allowing walkers to explore England's shoreline step by step. Along the way, it passes through some of the country's most beautiful and varied landscapes, from salt marshes and sandy beaches to cliffs, dunes and historic coastal towns. #englandcoastpath #ramblers #coastlinepath #righttoroam #kingcharlesiii
