Stage of progress

Stage 5: Open to the public

The 68.5 miles (110km) of the King Charles III England Coast Path (KCIIIECP) between Filey Brigg and Newport Bridge is now open to the public.

Coastal access rights came into force along this stretch of coast on 21 July 2016 and 18 September 2019, by order of the Secretary of State.

The route is available to view on the National Trails website.

Information about the route

If you’re planning a walk on the KCIIIECP, check our interactive access maps for details of local access restrictions and coast path diversions which may apply at certain times.

Coastal access rights normally apply to all land that is coastal margin - including any land seaward of the route - unless it falls into a category of excepted land or if an access restriction applies to the land.

The maps in Natural England’s original proposals to the Secretary of State show the route of the KCIIIECP along this stretch of coast and the adjoining land that is coastal margin, as determined by the Secretary of State on 15 January 2016, with modifications .

Use the links that follow to see details of the Secretary of State’s decision to approve Natural England’s proposals, together with any modifications, and for guidance on your rights and responsibilities if the KCIIIECP passes through your land.
