An alternative to Wainwright's famous walk, travelling through the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors.
From £460 per person
This alternative to Wainwright's classic route offers a gentler walk across the north of England from coast to coast. The route runs across the country from Arnside on the shores of Morecambe Bay to Saltburn-by-the-Sea by the North Sea. It passes through remarkable scenery, including limestone hills and ancient woodland in the Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the valleys and villages of the Yorkshire Dales and the heathery hills and green dales of the North York Moors.
The famous Ribblehead Viaduct can be seen along this trail, along with many other architectural and historical wonders to enjoy, including Bolton Castle and England’s oldest theatre.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.

“Everything ran really smoothly. We loved all our accommodation and bags got transferred each day without any issues. We could concentrate on just enjoying the day. Lovely accommodation. Perfect scenery and weather wasn't too bad either. Have already passed on information to a friend. Organisation was very good.”Mr Wells, New Zealand
“Loved that this trail was not as crowded as reportedly the C2C. Beautiful waterfalls and nice diversity in hiking terrain - moors, forest, farmland. Would love to book with Contours again! I drool over the website and all the possibilities.”Mrs Cueva, USA
“It was great to complete Alternative C2C. There were enough challenges (especially a disintegrating pair of boots!) and some inclement weather to help us feel a sense of accomplishment. Faultless baggage service from Trail Magic. Thank you very much.”Mr Phillips, UK
