Coast to Coast Hike England
The Coast to Coast hike in England is one of the world’s most famous walks and a great way to experience quintessential England. Follow tradition and dip your toe in the Irish sea on the west coast, then 200 miles later in the North Sea on the east coast. Along the way you’ll travel through three of England’s national parks each with their own incredible beauty.
Described by writer Alfred Wainwright as “paradise on earth” the Lake District is home to England's highest mountains and largest lakes. In contrast the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales are divided by traditional stone walls and dotted with sheep. This area has a rich heritage with historic castles, charming stone villages and country pubs where you can enjoy a pint of real ale after a long days walking. Famed for its moorland, the North York Moors are moody and magnificent all at once, a fitting end to your coast to coast hike.
Since 2005, Macs Adventure has been helping walkers enjoy the delights of the Coast to Coast. We know the route inside-out and many of our team based in our UK office have walked at least one half of it! Choose to hike the full Coast to Coast across England, or if you’re stuck for time, concentrate on the Lake District on the Coast to Coast West, or focus on the Yorkshire Dales and Moors on the Coast to Coast East.
