第2996期:World's longest coastal path opened by King Charles

Its length isn't what makes the path special, says Natural England's Neil Constable, who led the project. For him, the important thing is it means you can now reach the coast anywhere in England, turn left or right, and follow the sea for as long as you like.这条步道的长度并非它最特别的地方，这是该项目负责人、英格兰自然署官员尼尔·康斯特布尔的看法。对他而言，最重要的一点是这条步道的建成意味着现在你可以来到英格兰海岸线上的任何一个地方，向左或向右转，便能沿着海岸随心所欲地想走多远就走多远。Creating the route has taken 18 years, an act of parliament, andextensiveplanning and construction.
