Radical AnthropologyThe entire English coast!
DoudouOSM@RadicalAnthro There are one footpath and one guide post with exactly the name "King Charles III England Coast Path" in #OpenStreetMap. A few more with "England Coast Path". More to come, surely.

@Doudouosm exciting! Quite a plan, the whole walk.
Alan Grant@Doudouosm @RadicalAnthro About 2100km is already mapped in the route relation (with that name in the "official_name" tag since about 3 years ago).
I wouldn't necessarily expect more footpaths to be tagged with that name - as I understand it, it's a route name, it doesn't mean that the ways themselves are called that.

@alan Great. I was expecting OSM search would return named relations as well and was very surprised there were so few results, but I also know nothing about the history of this route, so it was plausible to me that it was recent. Thanks for pointing out. @RadicalAnthro
@Doudouosm @RadicalAnthro The default Nominatim search only finds named relations for a few specific types such as waterways - it's a long-standing discussion on Github. I usually use waymarkedtrails.org to find recreational route relations.
SK53@alan @Doudouosm @RadicalAnthro In this case I suspect official_name is a euphemism, but I'd be surprised if the name value is not a consensus position.
Personally I call the new rapid transit line in London "Crossrail" for similar reasons. No doubt I'll have to change when no one remembers that name.

Still lots of bits missing unfortunately, and unsurprisingly lots of places where the path will have to leave the coast for considerable distances, but a grand aspiration non the less.
@Guy I think so. Would like to do a whole walk one day.
