Originally the brainchild of Alfred Wainwright, the well known author and hill walker, the Coast to Coast walk is one of the most famous and popular long distance routes in the world. The route runs from St Bees on the West Coast of Cumbria to Robins Hood Bay on North Yorkshire's Eastern Coast. At 190 miles long and generally taking 12 to 14 days to complete, the challenge of the Coast to Coast should not be underestimated, indeed many people take it in smaller sections and complete the route over a period of months or years.
The route passes through some of the most spectacular scenery in the country and through the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors National Parks.
