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.

“Absolutely spectacular! Possibly the hike of my lifetime... I climbed mountains, did precarious rocky scrambles, crossed fast flowing streams and peat bogs, stayed in a haunted B&B, braved vicious dogs and a talking rat, saw a man risk his life in pursuit of his hat, watched hares dancing, was entertained by a parrot, took photos of most spectacular waterfalls and walked across the wildest places imaginable... Truly unforgettable...”Ms Ginter, UK
“Firstly thank you for a brilliant walk and experience. Thank You and would use you again, soon I hope.”Mr Willis, UK
