Great group of people from multiple countries, a wonderful guide who always went the extra mile to make sure we got everything we needed and wanted, beautiful scenery and a challenging hike. What more could you want?
I had a very well planned and arranged trip on the East Coast to Coast from Kirkby Stephen to Robin Hood's Bay. The accommodations arranged were comfortable, friendly, and well situated along the trail. The bag transport worked very well, as did the return transfer to Kirkby Stephen where my car was waiting. The advice on dining was right on and the maps, instructions, and attractions along the way were super. Well done!
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.
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 part of the Coast to Coast Walk through the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors at your own pace. Embark on the eastern half of Alfred Wainwright’s legendary Coast to Coast walk, tracing the route from the rugged Pennines through the Yorkshire Dales and across the heather-covered North York Moors to the dramatic cliffs of the North Sea.
Your hike begins near the halfway point of the trail in the Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Cross into the Yorkshire Dales National Park and climb the mystical Nine Standards Rigg. From there, you will follow the scenic River Swale past timeless villages and rolling farmland before arriving in the historic market town of Richmond. The journey continues into the North York Moors National Park, where panoramic vistas and sweeping moorland paths guide you towards the coast.
The final stretch leads to Robin Hood’s Bay, where tradition calls for dipping your boots in the North Sea and marking your achievement with a pint, a glass of champagne, or an ice cream on the beach. Along the way, you’ll enjoy the charm of classic northern England; fields of sheep, rolling hills, dry stone walls, friendly local communities, and hearty full English breakfasts. Accommodation is in cosy country hotels, welcoming guesthouses, and traditional pubs—each reflecting the warm hospitality of rural England.
