England Coast Path photo gallery

ENGLAND’S COAST IS FULL OF DRAMATIC CONTRASTS. From the white cliffs of Dover to Norfolk’s open salt-marshes and reedbeds, and from Cornwall’s wave-washed cliffs to Devon and Dorset’s fossil-rich Jurassic Coast, the England Coast Path is rich in memorable views and photogenic scenes.

Find yourself by the sea. Walk on the England Coast Path even just once and you’ll want to come back for more.

From vast unspoilt beaches to tiny smugglers’ coves, and lofty cliffs to broad, sky-dominated estuaries, the England Coast Path promises views and vistas at every turn.

You’ll experience beautiful beaches and bustling harbours, empty cliff tops and silent seascapes. You’ll see squalls out to sea and cloud shadows sweeping over sand. You’ll see basking seals and wheeling seabirds, porpoise and dolphins, gannets, gulls and guillemots. Light and shadow. Sunshine and rain. England’s coast is a photographer’s dream.
