SW Coast 50: Bigbury to Dartmouth
One week | One Base | One Bed | One Path | 50km
Welcome to your ultimate hiking escape — a 7-night, all-inclusive coastal adventure designed for walkers who want the beauty without the logistics. One home, one bed, all week.
Set out along one of the UK’s most spectacular stretches of coastline. You’ll journey across 50km of the South West Coast Path, tracing the dramatic sweep from Bigbury-on-Sea to Dartmouth. Expect the rolling dunes of Bantham, the tucked-away coves around Hope Cove, the twin estuaries and sailing life of Salcombe, the peaceful wetlands of Torcross and Slapton Ley, and finally the historic waterfront and pastel hillsides of Dartmouth.
From cliff-top panoramas to quiet beaches and tidal estuaries alive with birdlife, each day brings a new chapter of South Devon’s coastal magic.
This is a week to drop the noise, walk with the tides, and lose yourself in the rhythm of the sea.
What's Included?
Spend seven nights in an idyllic coastal basecamp and take on six epic, self-guided hikes across 50 km of the South West Coast Path. All meals are sorted, daily transport is included, and you won’t need a single logistics brain cell. Just wake up, eat up, lace up, and hit the trail. After each adventure, unwind in a small group setting with a daily dose of wellness: yoga built for hikers, soothing massages, beach saunas, and hot-tub soaks. No carrying bags, no planning ferries or checking tides — we handle every detail so you can roam, recharge, and fully immerse yourself in the coast.
