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 Grain and Woolwich is currently at open to the public, with details of the route and accompanying maps available for download on gov.uk website.
