"One should always have a definite objective, in a walk as in life – it is so much satisfying to reach a target by personal effort than to wander aimlessly."
A.W Wainwright

The Coast to Coast walk was devised by Alfred Wainwright, the famous fell walker and guidebook writer, in 1973 his guidebook 'A Coast To Coast Walk' was published. Since then the path has become one of England's classic long distance walks. It covers 190 miles, from the cliffs of St Bees Head on the Irish Sea, to the fishing point at Robin Hood's Bay on the North Sea. The quality and variety of this walk was recognised in 2004, when it was rated the second best walk in the world, beating walks such as, the Inca Trail and Everest Base Camp walk.

As the route traverses the country, the two week journey passes through three National Parks and across a real cross-section of England's best landscapes. It begins in the Lake District, taking in deep sided valleys, lake shores and remote mountain passes.

Next is the limestone country of the Yorkshire Dales, famous for its intricate field patterns and dry stone walls. The old market town of Richmond marks the end of the Dales, before the path crosses the Vale of York and rises over the rolling moorland hills of the North York Moors.

A full list of the itinerary is listed here

"Surely there cannot be a finer itinerary for a long distance walk! For sustained beauty, variety and interest it puts the Pennine Way to shame."
A.W Wainwright
