How the mobile phone walks work
There are 12 Coast Mobile walks, each with eight or more walk points. At every walk point you'll find a BBC Coast sign, with a telephone number on it. If you dial this number with any kind of phone you'll be able to listen to the audio guide - stories, facts and dramas about the place you're standing, plus directions to help you get to the next walk point. See our FAQs for information about charges.

If you�re going as a family�
Kids (and anyone else who wants to) can take part in a fun quiz as they follow the walk route. At each point they'll be invited to text a keyword to 81010 and receive a quiz question related to the local area and walk route. When they text back their answer they'll receive the next question and will be told if they're right or wrong. See our FAQs for information about charges.

Take the web with you
If you have a WAP-enabled phone, you can get nearly all the information available on this website, while on the move. You can visit the Coast WAP site by either entering www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/coast into your phone, or by texting COAST to 81010. Then select the location you would like and follow the step by step guide. We've added photos so you can check you're heading in the right direction! The WAP site also has weather information for each location, in-depth stories for each of the walk points and details of each of the television shows. See our FAQs for information about charges.
