An iconic walk across England via the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors.
From £378 per person
Created by Alfred Wainwright, the Coast to Coast Walk crosses the breadth of the North of England from St Bees on the west coast to Robin Hood’s Bay on the east coast. Some of the most varied and beautiful scenery in the country lies ahead, spread over three National Parks.
Wainwright’s Coast to Coast Walk clambers the rugged mountains of the Lake District to earn views over glittering tarns. It winds through the pretty valleys of the Yorkshire Dales and sets out across the expansive heather moorland of the North York Moors. Dramatic coastal scenery waits at the end, with a twisting descent to Robin Hood’s Bay.
Choose this country-crossing walking holiday and explore the best landscapes of Northern England.

“This holiday was primarily about the walking and the scenery so was significantly weather dependent. Apart from a few showers the weather was excellent and previous weeks\' dry weather also ensured it was generally dry underfoot. The luggage transfers, apart from being a little late arriving a couple of times, seemed to work well. The accommodation was interestingly varied and generally good to excellent with only a few negatives.”Mr Shenton, UK
“The holiday was lovely thanks. I’m not one for filling in lengthy feedback forms I’m afraid. However all the accommodation was good.”Mr Schofield, UK
“Everything worked out well. When emailing to ask a question, response was quick.”Ms Cheetham, Canada
