The King Charles III England Coast Path (KCIIIECP), originally and still commonly known as the England Coast Path, is a long-distance National Trail that will follow the coastline of England. When complete, it will be 2,674 miles (4,303 km) long.^[2]

Various parts of the English Coast already had coastal paths, most notably that of the South West Coast Path. However, with the passing of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009, section 298 instructed Natural England to create a holistic Coastal Path.^[3] The first section, along Weymouth Bay, opened in 2012.^[4] The path is the longest Coastal Path in the world, with it being even longer if including the Wales Coast Path.
