An iconic walk across England via the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors.
From £387 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.

“Very enjoyable experience. My second long walk with Contours and both have been excellent.”Mr Partridge, Ireland
“We loved it! want to do more! Loved the accommodation and the transport arrangements. Luggage always where it needed to be. Good food. Definitely makes the challenge easier when everything is organised for you. Would love to do the Hebridean Way and the West Highland and Rob Roy Ways. Also Pembrokeshire coast and Cleveland Way.”Ms Richards, UK
“Great value for the money.”Mr Eisner, USA
“We had a wonderful time.”Mrs Westfall, USA
“We knew we were going to walk through some of the most picturesque landscapes in England and we certainly were not disappointed…. The walk was indeed invigorating but not unmanageable”Mr Morgan, USA
“We loved it! We had scheduled 18 walking days and four rest days and that was perfect for us. We are both 70 years old and we completed the walk with no injuries, no blisters, and amazingly, NO RAIN. How can that be. We loved it.”Mr Hutchison, USA
“Experienced the usual excellent service and support by Contours.”Ms Urban, USA
“We had an excellent walk! All the logistics worked out very well.”Mr Abrams, Canada
“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
