South West Coast Path Photographer of the Year - Free Exhibition

As the summer season approaches and thoughts turn to days spent by the sea, what better time to celebrate one of the UK’s most spectacular sections of coastline? Taking place at London’s Paddington Station (Platforms 8 & 9) from 3 - 30 July, the South West Coast Path Photographer of the Year Exhibition offers visitors the chance to view all the winning images from this popular photography competition… and more.

Highlighting the diversity, beauty, wildlife, heritage and seasonality of the coastal environment, both on and around the South West Coast Path - 630 miles of stunning coastline spanning four counties, from Minehead to Poole - the exhibition will also include images that illustrate all too clearly the impact of climate change on and around England’s longest National Trail.

Organised by the South West Coast Path Association, the South West Coast Path Photographer of the Year competition is now in its 12th year, although this is the first time that a public exhibition has been held for it in the capital, thanks to headline sponsors, Great Western Railway (GWR) along with the support of Network Rail. Choosing an overall winner from the 1,500 entries was a challenging task for the judges, who awarded the coveted title to James Loveridge for his striking photograph entitled ‘An aerial view over Lyme Regis Cobb during Storm Ciaran’, which impressed the panel both with its beauty and its messages.

Visitors to the South West Coast Path Photographer of the Year Exhibition will be able to view James’ winning image, as well as see beautiful photographs from the winners and runners-up in the following competition categories: Your Path, Urban Lines, Nature, Climate Change, Sky Shot and Young Photographer of the Year (under 18).

There will also be a free-to-enter competition at the stand to win a framed print of a photograph of your choice from the selection on display, plus information about visiting the South West Coast Path yourself.
Open all day from 3rd to 30th July on Platforms 8 & 9 at London's Paddington Station.

FREE Admission.
