Coast to Coast
Self-Guided Walking Holiday

+ Complete Wainwright's famous route
+ Friendly accommodation waiting each evening
+ Expert advice gives you the best experience

Walk the spectacular Coast to Coast path under your own steam in a self-guided trekking holiday. Our package lets you walk at your own pace, takes away the work of planning and gets you straight to the best bits.

Wainwright devised his 314km (196 mile) Coast to Coast route to cross England via the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors. The route is a delight throughout and one of the classics of the walking world. The obvious drama and charm of the Lake District stages show only one side of the walk; engrossing views in the Dales and North York Moors later in the trek reveal so many more aspects of Northern England.

Coast to Coast Update August 2008
We're still booking clients in for our 2008 season. We loved receiving a postcard in late July from two happy clients on the route. Join us in late Summer or Autumn.

Each day, set off after a good breakfast and watch the miles pass underfoot. Arrive at your next accommodation and settle into a nearby pub or restaurant for the evening. There's great satisfaction to be had from this footloose yet purposeful life; a sense of moving through the landscape. We plan it all for you and give you detailed routecards and local information.

Your accommodation is in a mix of guesthouses, B&Bs and inns that we hope will invigorate and entertain you. The Coast to Coast, as much as any long distance trail in the UK, offers some authentic and memorable overnight stays. One night you could be staying above an inn in the middle of a small village; the next you could be guests in a friendly home hidden away in the hills.
