Coast to Coast Walk West (9 Days & 8 Nights)

  • Walk the hardest and most beautiful Coast to Coast section through the Lake District
  • Soak up views which have inspired famous writers such as Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter
  • Follow mountain paths crisscrossed with ancient stone walls and Herdwick sheep
  • Overnight in picturesque Lakeland villages with slate build houses and great ice cream
  • Sleep cosy hotels and B&B’s, and enjoy pints in friendly country pubs
The Coast to Coast West takes you through the dramatic upland scenery of the English Lake District from St Bees, located on the Irish Sea, to the market town of Kirkby Stephen. Created by Alfred Wainwright, this is one of the world’s greatest walks and you’ll complete the western section on this particular itinerary. Your overnights are in small, cosy B&B’s full of Lakeland charm and character. You will be able to taste local ales in the cheery pubs whilst chatting with your fellow ‘coast to coasters’ sharing stories from the trail. A great introduction to this route if you are short of time and just fancy a flavour of this classic path.
