An iconic walk across England via the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors.
From £360 per person
Created by Alfred Wainwright, the Coast to Coast Walk crosses the breadth of the North of England from St Bees on the west coast to Robin Hood’s Bay on the east coast. Some of the most varied and beautiful scenery in the country lies ahead, spread over three National Parks.
Wainwright’s Coast to Coast Walk clambers the rugged mountains of the Lake District to earn views over glittering tarns. It winds through the pretty valleys of the Yorkshire Dales and sets out across the expansive heather moorland of the North York Moors. Dramatic coastal scenery waits at the end, with a twisting descent to Robin Hood’s Bay.
Choose this country-crossing walking holiday and explore the best landscapes of Northern England.
At long last, this well-known walking holiday is on its way to recognition as a National Trail. The work is still in progress, but anyone walking the Coast to Coast will notice brand-new waymarkers going in, complete with the National Trail acorn. It’s an exciting time for one of Contours Holidays’ best-loved routes!

“Well organised and the logistic for people and luggage generally worked well.”Mr Brown, UK
“Definitely one of the best trails I have done. Popularity of trail meant it was possible to meet up with other walkers at the end of day which is nice as a solo walker.”Mr Parish, UK
“Had a fantastic time and everything ran very smoothly. All the accommodation was of a high standard, some exceptional, and the taxi companies and baggage handlers all went out of their way to be helpful. We travelled with my dog, who was welcomed everywhere he went. The walk itself was enjoyable and we only had one day of rain. Loved the fact you were progressing each day and the change in scenery was a delight. The dog friendly aspect worked a treat. I will be recommending 'Dog Friendly' magazine do an article on this. Keep increasing the dog friendly options. Was considering the West Highland Way but no dog friendly option.”Mrs Pidd, UK
“Fantastic experience will be relived and remembered for a long time! Everything went like clockwork no hitches or disappointments - Great organisation by Contours. Would recommend the holiday to others without hesitation.”Mr Johnson, UK
“The holiday was lovely thanks. I’m not one for filling in lengthy feedback forms I’m afraid. However all the accommodation was good.”Mr Schofield, UK
“Smooth, simple, well organised and hassle free.”Mrs Mytum, UK
“Perfect weather which helped us a lot. Some challenges for us but we managed it. This holiday was postponed twice because of covid. As we are now in our 70\'s we were aware that we were 18 months/2 years older than when it was first booked which might have made a difference had the weather been awful. We enjoyed it all. We enjoyed it all. What was best about it was that every single day was different from the days before.”Mrs Cartledge, UK
“Exceeded expectations. Fortunate with weather mostly. No hitches. Most accommodations good or better.”Mr Newbery, New Zealand
“I went on a partial reverse Coast to Coast walk with you in May this year with my daughter and son-in-law (part of the time only). We had a thoroughly enjoyable time and your organisation was excellent throughout. We also noted that those you contract speak highly of Contour Holidays.”Mr Tweed, UK
