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!

“Very enjoyable experience. My second long walk with Contours and both have been excellent.”Mr Partridge, Ireland
“A very nice period without real busy towns and traffic, good way to see the diversity of landscape and people. The start was as expected the hard part because length of track and the weather in the Lake district.”Mr Kingma, Netherlands
“Absolutely loved the walk. The scenery was fabulous, the people we met on the walk, our hosts, our taxi drivers and all the locals were wonderful. The standard of accommodation was excellent. The standard of accommodation was excellent. The walk was challenging and did require some navigation skills - the trail is not well marked but finding our way was half the fun. We had a fabulous time and were disappointed when day 16 arrived - we wanted to keep going. We were impressed with the standard of accommodation, the hosts were all extremely welcoming and all the transfers went well, even the one we didn't contact in the morning. We left our walking poles in a pub in one village and emailed Contours on a Sunday afternoon asking if there was any chance we could recover them. They got back to us that afternoon and our poles arrived the next day.”Mrs Brown, Australia
“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
“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
“Second time with Contours. All arrangements including information pack, map and guide book, luggage transfers and B&B standards excellent.”Mr Matthewman, UK
“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
“It was an amazing experience. Every day was filled with new sights and delights.”Ms Davies, Australia
“Dear Contours team, thank you for all your hard work arranging this for us. We had a great time and great weather. All the accommodation was really good.”Mr Deal, UK
