Coast to Coast Walk - 14 Days & 13 Nights

  • Discover 3 National Parks - Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors
  • Take in some of England’s finest and most beautiful landscapes
  • Enjoy tea and scones, local ales and fish & chips on the beach

This is the original, challenging itinerary set by Alfred Wainwright when he laid out this long-distance trail in the 1970s. This ancient network, spanning almost 200 miles, of paths seamlessly connects the Irish Sea to the North Sea and is waymarked throughout. Travelling through three delightful National Parks, The Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors, you will experience some of the finest countryside and landscapes England has to offer. With pretty Lakeland villages serving tea and scones, country pubs, caves, sheep filled mountains and expansive moorland, this walking holiday will awaken all your senses. You overnight in cosy B&B’s and will enjoy the company of fellow C2C walkers as you complete this dramatic and rewarding route.
