Coast to Coast Walk | 16 Days

  • Enjoy the perfect two week hiking vacation on the Coast to Coast Trail
  • Three glorious National Parks - Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors
  • See pretty English villages nestled in valleys surrounded by sheep filled hills
  • Have a pint in the local pub with fellow C2C hikers you’ve met along the way

Hike the Coast to Coast National Trail - dip your toe in the Irish Sea at the start and the North Sea at the end! This inspirational world-class hike travels along ancient footpaths through three glorious National Parks - The Lake District, The Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors. With almost 200 miles of waymarked trail, you’ll hike through picturesque villages, rolling hills, immaculate farmland, striking mountains and vast moorlands. Your evenings are spent in cozy B&Bs oozing with charm, and maybe a pint in the cheery local pub catching up with tails from your fellow ‘coast to coast’ hikers. This fabulous long-distance path was created by Alfred Wainwright in the 1970s, and has been relished by thousands of hikers since.
