Take your time to savor England’s most iconic footpath with the 'Coast to Coast Guided Explorer – 17 Days' tour. This extended guided walking trip stretches from St Bees on the Irish Sea to Robin Hood’s Bay on the North Sea, offering two extra days compared to the classic itinerary for a more in-depth experience.

Traverse the famed Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, and North York Moors national parks, clocking in at approximately 315km (195 miles) of moderate to challenging hiking. The extra days allow for a gentler pace and more opportunities to explore quaint villages, rolling hills, and the mystical Nine Standards Rig. Enjoy the camaraderie of a small group, led by a knowledgeable guide, and relax each night in welcoming hotels, guesthouses, and traditional pubs.

Along the way, you’ll marvel at the diversity of the English countryside, from rugged mountains and serene lakes to dry stone walls and vibrant market towns. Celebrate your achievement on the shores of the North Sea with your fellow walkers—a moment you’ll cherish.

The unique selling point of this trip is its leisurely, immersive approach—perfect for travelers who want to fully absorb the landscapes, history, and local character of England’s legendary Coast to Coast walk.
