We are thrilled to once again be invited to take part in Royal William Yard's Artober event, where the iconic Yard becomes a giant gallery space. We hope that you will be able to visit to view the South West Coast Path Photographer of the Year Exhibition and pop into the Coast Path Centre to meet the team. More details coming soon.  

Paddington Station, London

9 - 31 July

The South West Coast Path Photographer of the Year Exhibition received a great response from people travelling through Paddington Station while it was on display from 9 to 31 July. It was wonderful to bring the trail to the rail once again and showcase some of the incredible images that are submitted to our annual competition at the gateway to the South West.
