Customer reviews from the Coast to Coast Walk
“Thoroughly enjoyed, a great experience with varied walking, not to mention the challenge of walking across the entire country. Some outstanding accommodation booked, and it's lovely to start a day's walk knowing that wherever you're headed is going to be an excellent night. Have hardly stopped talking about it and have also been using it to inspire my Year 4 lessons this week, talking about scales, measurement and compass directions.”
Mr Pickup, UK
“All six of us had a wonderful time. Another great experience for four of us and a trip that will likely encourage the first timers to walk the west half of the C2C.”
Mrs Pitts, USA
“We had a great time in Britain again and really enjoyed all of our accommodations.”
Mr Verschaeren, Netherlands
“Good walk; well organised.”
Mr Young, UK
“We really enjoyed walking the western part of the coast to coast and are now planning to complete the eastern side with Contours Walking Holidays. Everything was very well organised.”
Mr Townsend, UK
“Thank you for organizing our trip flawlessly. Again, thanks for a well-planned trip, I look forward to another Contours adventure in the near future.”
Mr Watson, USA
“Many thanks for arranging our coast to coast experience, it was truly amazing! We were so lucky with the weather as we only had one afternoon of rain and the rest was wall to wall sunshine so we were able to really appreciate the stunning views we encountered.”
Mrs Suddaby, UK
“We had a great time. Got great views especially in The Lakes and the number of birds and wildflowers just grew and grew. It was excellent.”
Mr Wagstaff, UK
“The walk was wonderful and we had very good weather for the whole 2 weeks which makes a big difference. The accommodations were very good and the food especially the breakfasts were superb. Everyone was very helpful and warm in both the B&BS and on the trail.”
