Coastal long-distance trails
Atlantic cliffs, a Mediterranean coast, and an Irish peninsula. These are the coastal trails in our catalog — not a ranking, and not padded with inland walks that happen to meet the sea.
Shared character: sun exposure, soft sand or bog underfoot, and cliff-edge care. Lengths are the OSM 2-D DataPoint on each record; published kilometre figures stay cross-checks. Hazards below are quoted from the records.

Season: Practical Mar–Oct (year-round walkable)
