taken 18 years ago, near to Skinburness, Cumbria, England

The Cumbria Coastal Way at Guards
The Cumbria Coastal Way at Guards
Beside the Solway Firth, the sea defences that protect the coast north-east from Silloth and along Skinburness Bank end abruptly at Guards. Coastal erosion has occurred beyond this point cutting the public footpath to Grune Point thus forcing walkers onto the shingle beach.
Grune House is in the right background.
Cumbrian Coastal Way

The Cumbrian Coast Way is a 182 mile route from Silverdale to Gretna. From Silverdale on Morecambe Bay, the route follows the Cumbria coast from the boundary with Lancashire, around the southern Cumbrian peninsulas with their stretches of estuarine sands, through the Lake District National Park and the industrial heritage of the west coast, along the Solway Firth and through border country with glimpses of Hadrian's Wall and along the River Eden to the historic city of Carlisle, then into Scotland to the official finish at the border town of Gretna.

King Charles III England Coast Path (ECP)

The King Charles III England Coast Path (ECP) will take advantage of new public rights of access to the coast, to form a 2,800 mile long public path right around England's coasts.

Parts of the path were already open in 2016, and it was intended at that time that the whole path would be completed by 2020. At that time, the path was called the England Coast Path. It was renamed King Charles III England Coast Path in 2023, in honour of the King's coronation.
