Coast to Coast Walk - was created by Alfred Wainwright, crosses the North of England from the Irish Sea at St Bees to the North Sea at Robin Hoods Bay. It passes through some of the most beautiful and varied scenery in the country: the rugged mountains and beautiful lakes of the Lake District, the rolling hills and pretty valleys of the Yorkshire Dales and the expansive heather moorland of the North York Moors, with some dramatic coastal scenery at each end.

We have devised six itineraries so that you can choose the one that most suits your fitness and experience. These range from tour ITCC1, a strenuous itinerary that splits the route into the 12 stages proposed by Wainwright when he conceived the trail, to tour ITCC6, a leisurely walk taking 17 days to complete the trail, which allows plenty of time for sightseeing.

Self-guided walking holidays

A Contours self-guided walking holiday is a wonderful way to explore the countryside, walking from one place to another, stopping somewhere different each night. We arrange your accommodation along the trail, provide maps and a guidebook describing the route, and transport your luggage between overnights stops. We take care of every detail, leaving you free to enjoy the countryside at your own pace, knowing everything is taken care of.

You can start a self-guided walking holiday on any date you want. If you wish, you can extend the tour by adding extra nights for rest days or sightseeing.
