An iconic walk across England via the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors.
From £360 per person
Created by Alfred Wainwright, the Coast to Coast path 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 Walking tour 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.
At long last, this well-known walking holiday is on its way to recognition as a National Trail. The work is still in progress, but anyone walking the Coast to Coast will notice brand new waymarkers going in, complete with the National Trail acorn. It’s an exciting time for one of Contours Holidays’ best-loved routes!
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.

The East section of the Coast to Coast Walk runs from the old market town of Kirkby Stephen to the village of Robin Hood’s Bay through the National Parks of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors.
This walk boasts incredible views from the summit of Nine Standards Rigg before tumbling through heather-covered hills and lush valleys. The variety of towns and villages along the route are ripe for exploration, with Richmond in particular showcasing ancient buildings and narrow cobbled streets sheltered beneath a magnificent castle.
