A charity says maintaining a 630 mile-long coast path is costing more due to recent stormy weather.

Due to the pandemic he said there had been a "shift in the patterns of people using the trail, we're seeing more local people, using their local path".

He said in 2022 heavy rain also caused surface erosion and there were wildfires during the summer months - all "real threats" to the path and coastal areas. The South West Coast Path Association said on average, in recent years, there had been up to a 70% increase in the amount spent for each mile of the South West Coast Path. "Five or six years ago we were spending around the figure of about a £1,000 a mile [per year], just to kind of maintain the path to the national trail standard," he said. He said stormy weather was therefore "increasing our cost for managing the coast path".
