Daniel linked to a number of awesome options:

The South West Coast Path
The Cleveland Way
The Norfolk Coast Path
Fife Coastal Path
Arran Coastal Way
Ayrshire Coastal Path
Causeway Coast Way
Lecale Way

But his personal pick for best U.K. coastal hike is the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path.

Andy’s added another on CheapTents.com:

Anglesey Coastal Path Walk

The Anglesey Coastal walk measures in at around 125 miles in total, though handily there are 20 towns/villages located directly on the route. This means taking on just part of the walk is easily done, making this walk accessible to most levels of walker at some point. Overall it took us 8 days walking to complete the full distance, plus one more day we spent in one of the villages on the route – from the information I can find it can take anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks to complete the full distance.

We started walking from the Roman Fort (which encircles St Cybi’s Church in Holyhead), this is also the end point of the full circular walk. On the walk we saw some spectacular scenery, there is some really quite cool wildlife including; puffins, guillemots, seals and even the odd dolphin! as well as beautiful Anglesey coast line.

I’m ruminating on a series of hikes for this Fall:

Cinque Terre in northern Italy → Corsica → Sardinia → Sicily → …

I’d take ferries from one to the next, I assume.

Leave a comment if you have any advice for me. I’ve never hiked this region before.

Ross Sanders out of Perth is a big time hiker. (He’s done 325km of the 965km Bibbulmun Track.)

Ross recommends:

Name : Cape to Cape Trail – 135km. (map)
Location : South West Coastal Region of WA

I have recently completed it and it is ABSOLUTLEY brilliant.

You can do it in 5-7 days. The guidebook is A$22.00.

… The Cape to Cape Track is situated in the far south western corner of Western Australia. It runs for 135 km along the spine of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge, through the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park, between the lighthouses of Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin.

The Track mostly follows the coast, alternating spectacular sweeping cliff-top views with stretches of pristine beach. There are several inland loops however, which take in some lovely sheltered woodland sections as well as the magnificent Boranup karri forest. Fascinating geological features, such as cliffs, caves, headlands and rock formations can to be seen along the way, and the vegetation and wildflowers present an ever-changing display. …
