Are we serious, dude? Why are they suggesting i do it in this order?

"Start in northumbria, go all the way to bristpl and then teleport to the other side of wales"

Looks like one should start in the #8 or #7 stretch if they want to actually continuously circumnavigate the edges of england.

I wouldn't blame them for doing it but I wasn't aware of a trench being dug across the border with Scotland.

It's a local path, for local people.

Apparently Wales already has a complete coastal path, so you have to walk the entirety of Wales before getting to 8!

It (mostly) gives access between the path and the sea too! Rules are here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/manage-your-land-on-the-england-coast-path

This is pretty sick. Now we need a review of all the best pubs on the route.

Are there any good sites showing all such paths in the UK? Or just any recommend walks or hikes

Well, some of it anyway.
