Wainwright’s Coast to Coast is the quintessential English hill walking and long distance trail experience: 190+ miles traversing 3 national parks and a lot of interesting landscapes, old towns and of course public houses in between! It is amazing to think that this most famous of routes got classified as a National Trail only in 2022, almost 50 years after its inception.
Starting at the tiny Cumbrian seaside resort of St Bees on the Irish Sea you’ll head east, with the wind, into the Lake District National Park. Pass by some of its most famous lakes and cross some important passes. On this part of the walk you have options to add extra days (for ascents of peaks such as Helvellyn) and we have already broken up the long day between Shap & Kirkby Stephen. Then it is on into the Yorkshire Dales National Park and over the mystical Nine Standards Rig. Now, for a couple of days you’ll be following the beautiful River Swale into the old market town of Richmond. There follows a section to link up with the North York Moors National Park where we’ve broken up for you the long days between here and Blakey. Next, roller coaster up and down around to the North Sea Coast to make a triumphant entrance into Robins Hood’s Bay. Celebrate with a pint, bottle of champagne or ice cream whilst standing in the North Sea.
Along the way you will be amazed at the variety of the dry stone walls, the charming little villages and just how much that you get to eat for a full English cooked breakfast! You’ll stay at quality, cozy small hotels, guesthouses and pubs on our Coast to Coast walks and these, as well as the rich variety of the people that you meet enroute, reflect something of the great diversity of England.
