Spanning approximately 192 miles from St Bees on the west coast to Robin Hood’s Bay on the east, the Coast to Coast Walk is a breathtaking journey through some of England’s most stunning landscapes. This iconic route, devised by Alfred Wainwright, takes walkers through the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, and North York Moors, offering a mix of challenging climbs, picturesque valleys, and charming villages along the way.
The route begins on the shores of the Irish Sea at St Bees and stretches across the country to its endpoint at Robin Hood’s Bay on the North Sea. Along the way, walkers pass through key locations, including Ennerdale Bridge, Borrowdale, Grasmere, Richmond, and Ingleby Cross, before reaching the final destination. Whether tackling the full journey or exploring a section, this legendary trail offers an unforgettable adventure.
