The England Coast Path - Book 1 - River Thames to River Exe

This lovely new book by Christopher Goddard is the first of four guidebooks on the England Coast Path National Trail. It provides the first complete guide to walking the England Coast Path. This book covers 700 miles from Woolwich on the River Thames to Exmouth on the River Exe, taking in the coastlines of Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight. This varied route takes in dizzying chalk cliffs, estuarine marshes, long beachfront promenades, densely wooded undercliffs and many more rewarding landscapes. 

While the while route has yet to be fully opened, the south coast section is almost entirely accessible and this book provides alternatives to those few stretches that are not. There is information on public transport, parking, accommodation, campsites, refreshments and local history. Whether you're walking the route in small sections or all in one go this is your perfect companion the England Coast Path.
