THE COUNTIES OF THE SWCP
The South West Coast Path goes through (around, actually) four counties, starting on the northern coast in Minehead (Somerset), and ending on the southern coast in Poole (Devon).
Most guide books further divide the path into regions within each county: North Devon, South Devon, for example. We are slowly making our way around the coast all four counties. We've finished Somerset, almost finished all of Cornwall, have a good start on North Devon, but haven't even started South Devon.
