Walking from Coast to Coast (Walking Tours)

Details

The world famous Coast-to-Coast is an exhilarating long-distance walking route originally described by the writer Alfred Wainwright in his book of the same name. First published in 1973, the book has grown in renown and today is as popular as ever, with the walk itself featuring on the bucket list of all keen walkers. At nearly 200 miles in length, the route takes you across country, up fells and down dales, from Cumbria"s St Bees, on the shores of the Irish Sea, to the picturesque fishing village of Robin Hood"s Bay in Yorkshire, passing fabulous landscapes at every turn. The tour runs through three national parks in northern England - the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors - and features some of the most spectacular and beautiful scenery in the country. The walking is challenging and recommended for experienced fell walkers and confident map readers only, but the sense of achievement and camaraderie when you encounter fellow coast to coasters makes it all worthwhile. Your accommodation each night is in carefully picked B&Bs, with either ensuite or private facilities, where friendly smiles and warm welcomes to weary walkers are guaranteed!
