COAST-TO-COAST HIKES
WAINWRIGHT’S COAST TO COAST, NORTHERN ENGLAND
This long-distance walking trail was devised by legendary hillwalker Arthur
Wainwright in the 1970s and remains the most popular coast-to-coast walk in
Britain. Generally hiked in 12–15 days, the trail connects the Irish Sea in the west
with the North Sea in the east. It crosses through three national parks – the Lake
District, the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors – on its journey across
England. Though unofficial, the trail is well trodden and generally signposted. The
landscapes a walker encounters on this journey are truly epic, from the windswept
crags and fells of the Lake District to the upland tarns and waterfalls of the moors
and dales and finally the sweeping coast at Robin Hood’s Bay.
