Walk Notes

The England Coast Path is an attempt to provide public access to the coastal margin for the whole of England. This has been backed by legislation from the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 and is expected to be completed by the end of 2021. There is a five stage process that is used to create the right of way for each section. This is defined as in Natural England, and is summarized as:

  • Stage 1 - Prepare
  • Stage 2 - Develop
  • Stage 3 - Propose
  • Stage 4 - Determine
  • Stage 5 - Open

The legislation enables the path to recede with any erosion of the coastal margin and thus the right of way will be maintained. The section between Humber Bridge to Easington is currently at stage 4 to determine the route, with details of the route and accompanying maps available for download on gov.uk website. The deadline for any representations to these proposals end on at midnight, Wednesday 7 July 2021.

In many instances existing rights of way and permissive paths are used and can be walked before the official path opens. In the instance of the section between Humber Bridge to Easington, the route uses public rights of way and permissive paths.
