Follow the Coast to Coast Walk from St Bees towards the historic villages and beautiful landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales. Experience the most dramatic section of Wainwright’s legendary Coast to Coast route on this self-guided walking holiday from the Irish Sea at St Bees to the market town of Kirkby Stephen. The western half of the trail showcases some of the most spectacular scenery in northern England, taking you across the rugged heart of the Lake District National Park and into the edge of the Yorkshire Dales.
If you're short on time, new to long-distance walking, or prefer to explore the route in manageable stages, this itinerary is an ideal way to sample the best-loved landscapes of the Coast to Coast. It’s also perfect for hikers who simply want the thrill of crossing the Lake District on foot, experiencing the quiet valleys, shimmering lakes, towering peaks and traditional fellside villages. You’ll start your journey by dipping your boots in the Irish Sea at St Bees, then head east with the prevailing wind at your back. The route leads through dramatic valleys such as Ennerdale, Borrowdale, and Patterdale, with the chance to take optional high-level detours to iconic Lakeland summits like Helvellyn. As the Lake District fells give way to the gentler landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales, your walk concludes in Kirkby Stephen, a charming town with rail links and a great place to relax after an inspiring week on the trail.
Looking to take things at a gentler pace? Our 9-day version of this trip (trip code WSK) breaks up the longer stage between Shap and Kirkby Stephen, offering a more relaxed alternative.

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!
Please note that GPX tracks and a routes and maps guide are provided on this trip, along with our usual maps. This replaces our usual turn by turn route directions.

Walk through the Cheviot Hills from Scotland to England en-route to Britain's very own Galapagos. The St Cuthbert’s Way is a long-distance path that was established in 1996. The route reflects the life of this 7th century monk, extending from Melrose Abbey in the Scottish borders, where he became bishop to the island of Lindisfarne just off the coast of Northumberland in northeast England, where he was buried. So the ‘Way’ links places associated with his life. It includes a variety of delightfully unspoilt countryside: the Tweed Valley (origin of the famous woollen cloth), the Eildon Hills, the Cheviot Hills (origin of one of the most famous breeds of sheep), and the Northumberland coast with its broad horizons, sandy beaches and dramatic contrasts between high and low tide. The small historic towns en route - Melrose, Kirk Yetholm and Wooler - are equally unspoilt and offer a pleasant contrast with the thinly populated countryside. There is an abundance of historical features, including ruined abbeys at Melrose and Lindisfarne, the battle site at Harestanes Moor and old castles. The standard route is intended to be walked in 4 long days, but we have made several modifications to make the day stages slightly shorter and perhaps more interesting. The tour ends on Lindisfarne, but we recommend that if you have time, you opt for the extended tour which takes you back to the mainland and the beautiful village of Bamburgh overlooked by its grand castle and further down the coast, past the magnificent ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle to near the ancient kipper producing village of Craster.
Craving the thrill of Scotland’s wild landscapes? The "Classic Walks of Scotland" tour invites you to experience the country’s most legendary hiking trails, from the West Highland Way to the dramatic ascent of Ben Nevis—the UK’s highest peak.

Perfect for active travelers and hiking enthusiasts, this challenging tour combines physical adventure with cultural richness. The unique selling point is the chance to conquer iconic Scottish walks while celebrating each day in true Highland style, making for a truly memorable trekking holiday.
Step back in time and walk the edge of an empire on the Walking The Best of Hadrian's Wall trip, a six-day trekking adventure through England’s storied northern frontier. Starting in Greenhead and ending in Corbridge, this self-guided tour invites you to follow Hadrian’s Wall Path, traversing Northumberland’s rolling countryside and craggy moorlands at your own pace.
Along the way, visit remarkably preserved Roman forts such as Birdoswald, Vindolanda, Housesteads, and Chesters. Wander through ancient milecastles and turrets, each echoing tales of soldiers and settlers who once guarded the empire’s boundary. Highlights include the world-famous Sycamore Gap and panoramic vistas from Walltown, Winshield, and Sewingshields Crags.
A unique aspect of this trekking tour is its west-to-east route, thoughtfully chosen so the prevailing winds are always at your back and the scenery unfolds dramatically as you walk. Stay in welcoming local inns and B&Bs, enjoying hearty Northumberland breakfasts that fuel your daily discoveries.
With its seamless blend of history, landscape, and self-guided flexibility, this trip is perfect for travelers who crave both independence and immersion in Britain’s ancient heartland.

Follow the rugged Cornish Coastal Path from Padstow to Penzance in Cornwall. From Padstow to Penzance, this South West Coast Path adventure offers a rich blend of natural beauty and Cornish heritage in a 13-day itinerary. Follow the Camel Estuary and cliff-top paths past hidden coves and golden beaches to the surfing hub of Newquay. Explore ancient Iron Age forts at Trevelgue Head and spot remnants of Cornwall’s tin mining past near Perranporth and Portreath. Highlights include the dramatic cliffs at Hell’s Mouth, seal sightings near Godrevy Point, and a scenic walk through the Hayle dunes into charming St Ives. Beyond the cobbled streets and art galleries of St Ives, the trail continues past shipwreck sites like the Carracks, inland to Zennor, and along the rugged Penwith coastline. Visit iconic Land’s End, the cliffside Minack Theatre at Porthcurno, and the old smuggler’s pub , the “Lamorna Wink”. Pass through the picture-postcard fishing village of Mousehole (pronounced “Mowzl) and end your journey in the bustling coastal town of Penzance with sea views of striking St Michael’s Mount.
