Coast to Coast path

The Coast to Coast pathway in England is made up of hundreds of existing footpaths, bridleways, minor roads, and other rights of way that span the country from St Bees in Cumbria to Robin Hood's Bay in North Yorkshire. Thus, the Coast to Coast path is a network of paths constructed by Alfred Wainwright rather than a single trail. Although hikers refer to it as the Coast to Coast Path, it is more correct to call it the Coast to Coast Walk.

Despite the fact that the path has not been designated as a national trail, it is the most popular long-distance walk in the United Kingdom, and probably the globe. The path offers beautiful and unique scenery as well as a glimpse of England's ancient history; it allows you to walk in the gentlest of the Lake District mountains, see the best of the Yorkshire Dales, and walk up and down the rolling hills of the North York Moors while learning about England's ancient and pre-industrial past.

This 192-mile walking path connects England's east and west coasts. It was created in 1973 by British fellwalker and writer Alfred Wainwright, best known for his Lake District guidebook. He kept a tally of those who finished his trek behind the bar in Whitby. Needless to say, this has been depleted. From St Bees Head on the Irish Sea to Robin Hood's Bay on the North Sea, the route winds its way. You'll pass through the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, and the North York Moors on your journey. Three national parks on one hiking trail!
