This is really cool. If I was English, I’d have a goal of walking the whole thing!

King opens world's longest coastal path around England

The King Charles coastal path will allow walkers right of access to the entire coast for the first time.

@chris

It would definitely be a challenge for hikers.

Unfortunately - it looks like they still have 2 gaps that need to be closed - to be able to do the full circuit.

But awesome they have the will to make that happen!

@chris
It's too bad about the royal they've got there ruining the view 😔
@chris Hi there! Unfortunately you may have to wait a while since large lengths of it are not yet open to the public. I have no clue why they announced this today!

@chris

But, how long is a trail along the coast of England?

Well, I heard the Welsh are foreign speakers now and Scottish representation is to be reduced. Explaination might be needed to make it clear whats what. 😸

@chris
Wow

The project was initiated during Gordon Brown's government, and it has taken 18 years and seven prime ministers to get to this stage.

@chris My own dream trail is Te Araroa in New Zealand, walking both main island from north to south (3000 km).
