cliff path

Seaside hiking route

A cliff path is a trail that runs along the edge or face of a cliff, typically following a coastline.

These paths offer dramatic views but require caution due to steep drops and erosion: We hiked the cliff path along the Devon coast.

In Britain especially, cliff paths form part of established coastal walking routes.
