Coast to Coast Walk

One of the other great walks is the Coast to Coast. It goes from St.Bees Head on the west coast to Robin Hood's Bay on the east, a walk of 192 miles (309km).

Alfred Wainwright's guide is popular with many walkers.

Julia Bradbury has a very good video on this walk - see the section on DVDs below. A website dedicated to the C-t-C can be found here.

 

Here is a selection from the guide showing the route and the elevations along the way.
