Plymouth's Waterfront Walkway

Plymouth

In 2002, Plymouth City Council created a continuous walking route along its coastline and appointed a team of artists to mark the route and interpret the many stories along it. This is now part of the South West Coast Path National Trail and is not separately named on OS mapping. Much of the Walkway is on hard surfaces and is easy walking.

A metal welcome mat marks each end of the walk, and between the two a series of features lights up the city's heritage - a wall of stars, a recipe for ship's biscuits, a flying boat's propeller...even a rhinoceros. Try out this unique section of the Coast Path to find out why and what they all mean! A 2015 guide booklet is obtainable free from the Council or the Barbican Tourist Information Centre in Plymouth. This has one overview and 11 detailed maps, with local information and artwork details.
