Spend nine days covering some of the most beautiful parts of England's famous 192-mile Coast-to-Coast walk. Alfred Wainwright first wrote about this long distance footpath in 1973, and it has been a popular destination for travelers and avid hikers ever since. Its full stretch crosses through three national parks: Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors. Our path takes us from west to east, from the Irish Sea to the North Sea, starting at St. Bees Head and ending at Robin Hood’s Bay. Pass through storybook villages with tiny shops and teahouses, hike through pastures dotted with grazing sheep and stone barns, and explore the ruins of a castle and an abbey. Have a refreshing pint of ale at the end of a long day. Tour the former home of William Wordsworth, one of England’s most beloved poets. The adjacent museum holds the largest collection of Wordsworth’s works in the world. The landscapes may change, but our awe does not. Exploring northern England on foot is one for the books.
