"It is fantastic to have been included in Great Adventures, and especially gratifying to know that the Coast Path is up there with other high-octane hikes such as the Tour du Mont Blanc."
The path's inclusion was also welcomed in the North Devon town of Ilfracombe which has just taken deliver of artist Damien Hirst's controversial statue Verity.
Town councillor Paul Crabb said: "We're looking forward to promoting the benefits of the spectacular walk to a new audience of ramblers, and even to people who have not thought of walking holidays before."
