Walking the Cleveland Way was a wonderful experience. The variety of countryside, moorland and coast, makes it extra special. The accommodation along the way was high quality with friendly hosts, and the luggage service worked like a dream. We met so many lovely walkers along the way and often dined with them in the evenings. It was such a
special trip.
Begin your British hiking adventure on the Coast to Coast: St Bees to Kirkby Stephen tour, an 8-day moderate walking journey crafted for experienced and senior travelers. Start at the Cumbrian seaside resort of St Bees and traverse the Lake District’s dramatic scenery, passing through valleys, national parks, and picturesque villages. Encounter working hill farms, traditional pubs, and the charm of English market towns. This self-guided trip includes comfortable accommodations and convenient transport. The unique selling point lies in experiencing the first half of the iconic Coast to Coast trail, blending mountain landscapes with classic English hospitality and heritage.
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.
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!

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.
