The Macmillan Way - Castle Combe to Abbotsbury

The Macmillan Way is a 290-mile long-distance footpath that runs coast-to-coast from Boston in Lincolnshire to Abbotsbury in Dorset. It is called the MacMillan Way because all fund raised are donated to Macmillan Cancer Support, a vitally important charitable organisation whose role is to help people living with cancer by providing them with expert care and prctical and emotional support.

Unfortunately due to the lack of available accommodations on the Macmillan Way we are currently limiting the sections that we are able to offer our clients as a standard package to those shown in the itnerary below.

The fully waymarked Macmillan Way follows existing footpaths, bridleways and byways, and small stretches of minor roads when these are unavoidable.

In addition to the full MacMillan Way, there is now also the Macmillan Way West - a 102 fully waymarked path that leaves the main route at Castle cary in Sormerset and heads across the Somerset Levels, the Quantocks and Exmoor to Barnstaple on the North Devon coast. Although not part of our standard itinerary, if you are interested in walking the Macmillan Way West please give us a call on +44 (0) 845 094 3848.
