Join the SWCPA team as we walk the 630-mile South West Coast Path.

The Trailblazer Walk will start at Minehead on 12 May, and South Haven Point on 27 May, with both walks coming into Royal William Yard, Plymouth, on Thursday 15 June 2023.

The Trailblazer Walk celebrates the 50th anniversary of the South West Coast Path Association. We look forward to walking with our many supporters, volunteers and trailblazers who all have one thing in common – a passion for the South West Coast Path. It’s going to be a challenge and we hope you will join us!

Common Cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) are fierce predators in our National Marine Park. They have on-demand changing camouflage, beak-like jaws and eight 'arms' with two tentacles around the mouth.

Common Cuttlefish makes light work of crabs, fish and even small cuttlefish. They don't fancy us humans though so you'll be safe to watch them being cool 😎

A brilliant photo of a Snakelocks Anemone. They may look beautiful and harmless but don't touch! They can release tiny barbs that have proven very irritating if you get them in your eyes 👀

This striking character is a male Corkwing Wrasse (Symphodus melops) and is carrying seaweed to an elaborate nest that he's working on.

This Corkwing Wrasse is well in season (photo taken in spring/summer) with his bright colouration 🌈
