Coast to Coast Walk
North West
St Bees

In 1972 A Wainwright devised the Coast to Coast Walk, which traversed what he described as ‘the grandest territory in the north of England’

The walk starts at St Bees on the West coast of Cumbria. It travels through Cleator, Ennerdale, Honister Pass, Rosthwaite, Grasmere, Patterdale, Haweswater, Shap, Orton, Sunbiggin Tarn, Smardale Gill, Kirkby Stephen, up to Nine Standards Rigg, then out of Cumbria.

The route then travels through the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the North York Moors National Park, heading towards Robin Hood’s Bay on the East Coast of North Yorkshire.
