For an adventurous getaway combining history and hiking, few destinations can compete with the windswept wilds of northern England. Here we meet long-gone monarchs and marauding invaders at Alnwick and Bamburgh castles, both seen in TV shows and films, including Harry Potter, Downton Abbey and The Last Kingdom. We also cross to the tidal island of Lindisfarne, the birthplace of Christianity in England, and walk a section of Hadrian’s Wall, which once marked the northwest boundary of the Roman empire. We end the trip in the Lake District where we hike two peaks – known locally as fells – for astonishing views over perhaps the most beautiful rural landscape in the UK.

Cover the first half of the Coast to Coast Walk from St Bees to the village of Kirkby Stephen crossing the Lake District National Park. 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 Coast to Coast offers some of the most spectacular scenery in northern England, crossing the rugged heart of the Lake District National Park and into the edge of the Yorkshire Dales.
This 9-day itinerary cleverly splits the final long stage between Shap and Kirkby Stephen into two shorter days, giving you a more relaxed finish without losing any of the route’s highlights. It’s ideal if you’re short on time, new to long-distance walking, or want to enjoy the trail at an easier pace while still experiencing the best-loved landscapes of the Coast to Coast.
Your journey begins by dipping your boots in the Irish Sea at St Bees, then heading east with the prevailing wind at your back. You’ll walk through dramatic valleys such as Ennerdale, Borrowdale, and Patterdale, pass shimmering lakes, and cross high passes with the option to tackle famous summits like Helvellyn. As the Lake District fells give way to the gentler landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales, you’ll finish in Kirkby Stephen, a charming market town on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales with rail links—perfect for a celebratory rest after an inspiring week on the trail.
Prefer a faster pace? Our 8-day version (trip code UCT) keeps the classic long stage between Shap and Kirkby Stephen intact for a more challenging itinerary.

What an amazing adventure we had! The hike itself, though challenging, was wonderful. We stayed in a variety of inns/B&Bs, some "good," some outstanding. We felt supported along the way and knew that our bags would always be waiting for us when we arrived in the evenings. The Pathfinder app was awesome (we named her Trina after our booking agent.) Highly recommend the Coast-to-Coast trail!

Our 12-day self-guided tour from St Ives to Mevagissey was everything we hoped it would be! The scenery was so dramatic, and the path was rugged and challenging, the views from the cliffs of the water and the sky were delightful and gave us peace and a sense of wonder. Our accommodations were wonderful, and we ate some very good food at them. We had a long year of personal loss, and it was the best place to help us heal. We are never disappointed when we travel with them, they are always just what we need.

The Coast Path from Padstow to Penzance was challenging and the scenery was stunning. Wind and rain impacted my hike during the first week so wearing all quick dry clothes was essential. But the weather improved as I approached Penzance. Glad I took a few days off there to visit St. Michaels Mount and the Scilly Isles. From Penzance to Mevagissey was wonderful. The terrain was a little gentler and weather was better. The Roseland Peninsula was lovely. I enjoyed visiting the small fishing villages. St. Austell Brewery properties were all great. The Torwood House, St. George's, North Inn, and Caerthillion were nice, but the hotel in Mevagissey was poor.
