The South West Coast Path Photographer of the Year Exhibition has made its debut in London’s Paddington Station.

This is the first time the annual photography competition, organised by the South West Coast Path Association, has held a public exhibition in London.

Paddington Station, recognised as the rail gateway to the South West region, now hosts 22 captivating photographs that portray the beauty of England’s longest National Trail.

The exhibition, which opened on July 3, also explores the threats to the trail's future caused by climate change.

Spectators can view spectacular images from winners of over 1,500 entries across categories including Your Path, Urban Lines, Climate Change and Young Photographer of the Year until July 30.

They included Jennifer Rogers, whose images took first place in the competition’s Your Path category, and both first and second places in the Nature category.

Gary Holpin won in the Climate Change category for his image, Blue Hour over a flooded Porlock Marsh.

Alex Walton's image Trail Lights of Sidmouth won the Urban Lines category.

The South West Coast Path Association is free-of-charge public and can be viewed from Platforms 8 & 9 at Paddington Station.
