Summary
The Coast to Coast is a spectacular walk. At just short of 200 miles, it crosses England from the Irish Sea to the North Sea. On its course, it crosses three of England’s finest National Parks: the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, and the North York Moors. It was devised by Alfred Wainwright, who planned for it to be completed in 12 days.
