England’s longest national path will be renamed as part of the celebrations for the coronation. The Government has unveiled plans to leave a lasting public legacy by renaming the coastal path the King Charles III England Coast Path.

The new plans will see England’s longest coastal path renamed the ‘King Charles III England Coast Path’ after its official unveiling on May 10. It will leave a lasting legacy of the Coronation which is hoped to be enjoyed around the entire English coastline.

The King Charles III England Coast Path will be a 2,700-mile long walk around the whole of the English coast. The walk will pass through some of the stunning English countryside as well as internationally famous coast lines.

Working alongside local authorities, Natural England has already opened 794 miles of the route so far, with the trail set to be fully walkable by the end of 2024. The path will connect communities between Northumberland to Cumbria, going via Cornwall.
