to read in the Spectator of April 4th an article on "A Coast Path Round England," especially as the idea has always appealed to me, As regards the Penzance district, I myself have done the walk along the cliffs and shore nearly the whole way between the Lizard and St, Ives, and it seems to me that any difficulty as to the little terraced gardens 'between Mousehole and Lamorna could be easily circumvented by taking to the edge of the fields above them at the first gate beyond Mousehole. I have also trumped moat of the coastline from Dover to Portsmouth, and on this- stretch there is practically no obstacle. You have "Dymchurch Wall" between Hythe and Littleetone, and beyond, when the tide is out, firm sand to Dungenees Light- house, beyond which a few miles of shingle walking (Or sand as before) leads to " Jury's Gut," from which there is a com- fortable path all the way to Rye. From Rye to Cosham there is little more hindrance than that presented by the towns and river-mouths, but the Selsey Peninsula and Chichester Harbour are rather complicated. If only we had in England an energetic and all-embracing body such as is the T.C.F. in France, detail's of the whole coastline could, and would, easily be collected and published in sections.—I am, Sir,
