Embark on the Branscombe & Beer South West Coast Path loop from Weston, a difficult hike that challenges you with 12.2 miles (19.7 km) of coastal terrain. You will gain 1731 feet (528 metres) in elevation over approximately 5 hours and 45 minutes, navigating steep climbs and descents. Expect diverse paths, from natural earth to gravel and unpaved sections, often narrow with numerous steps. As you hike, you will encounter the dramatic Hooken Undercliff and enjoy sweeping views of Beer's striking white cliffs and Branscombe Beach.
This demanding route requires a good level of fitness, so prepare for a strenuous day on the trail. While the path is generally well-maintained, be aware of uneven sections underfoot. You will pass through the charming villages of Beer and Branscombe, where you can find refreshments to refuel during your journey. Plan to start early to allow ample time to complete the loop before dusk.
This loop is a highlight of the East Devon National Landscape, offering a unique perspective on the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. The trail's challenging nature and varied landscapes make it a memorable experience for hikers seeking a rewarding coastal adventure. Keep an eye out for potential livestock in fields as you traverse this scenic part of the coastline.
