THE WAINWRIGHT COAST TO COAST WALK
The Coast to Coast is an iconic route and soon it will be a National Trail. This means improved signage, path improvement and maybe a small detour here and there.
From St Bees on the west coast of Cumbria all the way to Robin Hood’s Bay on the coast of North Yorkshire, this classic hike covers almost 200 miles of interesting and varied terrain.
The idea for this route was published in the 1970s, when Alfred Wainwright first shared his Pictorial Guide ‘A Coast to Coast Walk’. Since then it has become a popular and much loved route.
I have hiked this route many times, for fun and also for work, guiding groups from around the world on this legendary walk. On this page I will share with you many resources to help you with your own planning and journey.
A couple of years ago I backpacked the route during early spring. I charted my journey and the first installment is now available on YouTube.
