Coast to Coast: Classic Walk - 15 Days

Everything was perfect! Our bags were always waiting for us at our accommodation for the evening, letting us know we'd arrived at the right place. Ours hosts were kind and helpful. This was our first walking vacation and we plan to do another next year.

Carol H.US

Coast to Coast Rambler - 18 Days

We were very impressed with how well organized our Coast to Coast trip was, from the friendly accommodations, excellent maps and reliable bag service. We loved the opportunity to experience the English countryside through our daily hikes across the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and Yorkshire Moors. Thank you to everyone for making this memorable trip possible. We will treasure the experience and bask in our accomplishment for years to come.

South West Coastal Path: St Ives to Penzance

My recent self-guided walk along the coast of Cornwall was nothing short of magical. The daily distances were relatively short but the scenery was breathtaking. The white sand beaches, the turquoise ocean, and the multitude of wildflowers made the walk an absolute joy. Add in some ruins and history, yummy local eats (fish and chips, ice cream, cream tea), cozy bed and breakfasts, and reliable luggage transfer? Vacation perfection.

This classic Coast to Coast walking route across England was originated and described by Alfred Wainwright, author of a well-known series of mountain-walking guidebooks on the Lake District. The walk starts on the Irish Sea coast of Cumbria near the huge red sandstone cliffs of St. Bees Head. You cross three National Parks before reaching the North Sea at the pretty fishing village of Robin Hood’s Bay on the rocky coastline of the North York Moors. - Find comprehensive self-guided and guided walking tours with Walkers' Britain: https://www.walkersbritain.co.uk/united-kingdom/coast-to-coast-walk Tradition has it that you dip your boots in the Irish Sea and take a pebble to deposit in the North Sea at the end of your Coast to Coast walk. That should confuse geologists a few thousand years hence. The first few days take you over some of the most rugged and beautiful terrain of the Lake District by way of the idyllic lakeland valleys of Borrowdale, Grasmere (Wordsworth lived here) and Patterdale, close to Ullswater Lake. You pass Helvellyn, England’s most popular mountain, and the mountain oddly named High Street, along which the Roman Legions marched on their way to Hadrian’s Wall. After leaving the Lake District you cross a gentler landscape round Shap and Orton. Beyond the quaint market town of Kirkby Stephen you enter the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Two days are then spent walking through the long valley of Swaledale, with its dry stone walls and unspoilt villages. You reach the historic town of Richmond with cobbled streets, sloping market square and famous castle perched above the River Swale. Beyond the arable farmland of the Vale of York, you ascend onto the heather moorlands of the North York Moors, a region of long vistas and easy walking. After crossing the wooded valley of Eskdale you reach the dramatic cliffs of the North Sea Coast. The last few miles of the Coast to Coast walk follow the scenic clifftop path to the red-roofed village of Robin Hood’s Bay. With an extra night here, you can relax on the beach or visit nearby Whitby with its ruined abbey (associated with the Dracula legend) and its Captain Cook Museum. - Find comprehensive self-guided and guided walking tours with Walkers' Britain: https://www.walkersbritain.co.uk/united-kingdom/coast-to-coast-walk #coasttocoast #wainwrightsway #england
