About the Wales Coast Path
The Wales Coast Path (In Welsh "Llwybr Arfordir Cymru") is a somewhat new hiking trail, established only in 2012. It was developed because the Welsh Coastline was filled with multiple popular hiking trails, including the North Wales Path, Anglesey Coastal Path, Llyn Coastal Path, and Pembrokeshire Coast Path. The Wales Coast Path just linked all of these trails together. Plus, there already was one successful coastal trail in a region just below, the South West Coast Path. It starts at Chester, UK, and takes you through the whole coastline of Wales, finally ending at Chepstow. The Wales Coast Path is one of the longest hiking trails in the UK, and it takes you through beautiful grassy hills, cliffed coastlines, pristine sandy beaches, and lush coastal forests.
