Hiking Tours in Northern England

Northern England stretches from the Lake District's fells to the Northumberland coast and the wild moorland of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors - the wildest, most dramatic hiking country in England. Macs Adventure runs self-guided hiking tours across this entire region, from lakeside valleys to remote Pennine ridgelines.

Walk the Coast to Coast across three National Parks, follow Hadrian's Wall through Roman history, or explore the Northumberland Coastal Path's empty beaches and castles. Northern England rewards hikers who want big landscapes without an Alpine price tag.

20+ years of self-guided hiking expertise across Northern England's National Parks and coastal trails.

Why Northern England is one of the country's best-kept hiking secrets:

  • Three National Parks in one region - the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors
  • The Coast to Coast crosses all three, from the Irish Sea to the North Sea over 14-18 days
  • Northumberland's coastline pairs empty beaches with castles like Bamburgh and Dunstanburgh
  • Hadrian's Wall Path follows a UNESCO World Heritage Roman frontier through the region's heart
  • Fewer crowds than the Cotswolds or Scottish Highlands, with equally dramatic scenery

Northern England like a local

  • When to go

    April to October, with May-June and September the most reliable months for weather and trail conditions across Northern England's exposed moorland and coastal routes.

  • What the trails are actually like

    Varied terrain - lakeside paths, high moorland, coastal cliffs and Roman-era tracks. Northern England has some of the country's most remote and rugged trail sections.

  • Where you will stay

    Traditional inns, farmhouse B&Bs and small hotels in villages across the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and Northumberland, chosen for character and location.

  • Is luggage transfer included

    Yes, across our Northern England routes. Your bag travels ahead each day so you carry only a daypack on the trail.

  • How fit do I need to be

    It depends on the route. Coastal and valley paths suit regular walkers, while Pennine and fell sections on routes like the Coast to Coast require a higher level of fitness.
