Read our reports relating to the impact of the Wales Coast Path on health benefits, the Welsh tourism economy as well as path visitor insights

While the coast path is important for the Welsh economy, it is also seen as an important initiative in encouraging both locals and visitors to discover and enjoy Wales’ outdoor spaces and the health and welfare benefits it can provide.

In addition to funding from the Welsh Government and the coastal local authorities of approximately £2 million per year, the European Regional Development Fund allocated nearly £4 million over four years in support of the project. Welsh Government is committed to the long term future of the Wales Coast Path and is funding a two year programme totalling £1.15 million to further improve the Path during 2013/14.
