King Charles III England Coast Path: Sutton Bridge to Skegness
Find out about the progress of improving coastal access – including maps, process and timing – in Lincolnshire.
Map of the stretch
Natural England has begun to investigate how to improve coastal access along a 92km stretch of the Lincolnshire coast between Sutton Bridge and Skegness.
Officers from Lincolnshire County Council are providing Natural England with expert local advice and helping to make sure there is full consultation with local interests during the development of the route.
Stage of progress
Stage 5: Open
On 23 June 2022, the Secretary of State announced their decision to approve a stretch of the England Coast Path in Lincolnshire between Sutton Bridge and Skegness. Natural England’s report to the Secretary of State is still available to view.
Natural England will publish further details of the approved route in due course.
Next steps
Work is now underway to prepare the new stretch of coast path for public use. The first step is to contact owners and occupiers of the affected land to discuss the design and location of any new infrastructure which is needed, such as signs and gates.
When preparations are complete, new access rights will come into force along the route and adjoining spreading room.
For further advice see the detailed guide below.
