Walk one of the UKs most iconic long-distance trails on the Coast to Coast Path National Trail, crossing northern England from St Bees on the Irish Sea to Robin Hoods Bay on the North Sea. Covering 182 miles (293km), this classic route links three of Englands finest national parks the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors offering a spectacular journey through mountains, valleys, moorland and historic countryside. The Coast to Coast Path is widely regarded as one of Britains best long-distance walks. Avoiding towns wherever possible and favouring high ground, the trail reveals the changing landscapes, geology and cultural history of northern England. Beginning with a dramatic clifftop walk at St Bees Head, the route soon heads inland into the western Lake District, exploring remote valleys and high passes beneath famous fells before leaving Lakeland by the shores of Haweswater. Beyond the Lake District, the route crosses the limestone uplands around Shap and enters the Yorkshire Dales, where historic mining landscapes and sweeping moorland lead to the high crossing of Nine Standards Rigg. The trail then continues through Swaledale and Richmond before traversing the quiet farmland of the Vale of Mowbray. The final section crosses the wide open heather moorland of the North York Moors and finishes with a memorable clifftop walk down to the North Sea at Robin Hoods Bay. 13 stage-by-stage route descriptions covering the full Coast to Coast Path from St Bees to Robin Hoods Bay Alternative itineraries of 15 and 19 days allowing a more relaxed pace across the 182-mile (293km) route Clear route guidance supported by 1:100,000 mapping and a detailed 1:25,000 OS map booklet Downloadable GPX files for easy navigation using GPS devices or smartphone apps Practical planning advice covering fitness preparation, accommodation, transport and daily logistics Stage summaries outlining distances, ascent, facilities and accommodation along the route Background information on the landscapes, geology and cultural history of northern England encountered along the trail Whether you are tackling your first ever long-distance walk or planning your next multi-day National Trail, the Coast to Coast Path offers a rewarding end-to-end adventure.
