England's Coast-to-Coast Walk
Dip your boot in the sea at the start of this walk, as it is traditional that you dip your boot in Robin Hood's Bay at the end, making you a traveler from sea to shining sea. In a single week, you will go across the entire width of England- from the cliffs of St. Bees, the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, the North York Moors and finally along the cliffs to the North Sea.
The very best sections of this outstanding long distance walk have been selected to do on foot. You will enjoy intervening areas from the comfort of a sightseeing vehicle. Your knowledgeable, and good-natured Blue Badge Tourist Guide is a veteran of this walk, and has a curiosity and passion for its ever changing discoveries.
England's Coast-to-Coast Walk is a route pioneered by Viking settlers in the last millennium, and has been kept cleared by enlightened man ever since. Pass through forests, quiet valleys and some high ground with absolutely marvelous views of the largest lakes in England.
Pass by the Pennine Mountains. Through the picturesque, sleepy villages of Kirkby Stephen, an ancient market town, and Patterdale, set in the Ullswater Valley, and Reeth, the 'capital of Swaledale', sporting three pubs, three tea shops, a post office and a museum. Walking by the swirling waters of the River Swale takes you past a 12th century monk's priory.
At the end of the walk you come to the small town of Robin Hood's Bay. Clinging to the rugged cliffs of the powerful North Sea, your journey ends with an extraordinary coastal walk along the cliffs, seeing quaint cottages along the way. You have done it! Each walker will receive a certificate attesting to the accomplishment.
