A week long walk along the famous Coast to Coast trail
from St Bees to the Yorkshire Dales
An abundance of scenic highlights has led to the 'Coast to Coast' walk
being regarded as one of the world's great hikes. From the Irish Sea coast,
through the Lake District National Park ending at the quaint market town
of Kirkby Stephen, this shorter version offers time starved walkers a real
taste of some of the best sections of the trail. Much of the walk passes
through the Lakes District, rugged mountains, stunning lakes and pretty
villages. This is walking at its best with opportunities to extend your day
by ascending small peaks, or shortening days by adding additional nights.
The journey ends on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, steeped in traditions
and oozing with classic English countryside scenery, a fitting end to an
exhilarating adventure.
