The Coast to Coast Path

Discover England's most iconic long-distance trail, from temperate rainforests and heather moors to ancient stone circles and the legendary Robin Hood's Bay.



Crossing the width of England through the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Parks, the Coast to Coast Path is one of the world's most celebrated walking routes. Created by Alfred Wainwright and officially designated as a National Trail in 2026, it combines spectacular scenery, rich history and unforgettable walking.



Following the success of Stephen Neale's previous books, The England Coast Path, The South West Coast Path, National Trails and The Thames Path, this guide explores the character, heritage and highlights of the 190-mile route.



Read on for the story of how the Coast to Coast encapsulates and embodies the English character; how, at a time when there is much focus on the lack of public access to the outdoors, this path represents a unique connection. And, of course, 1,000 places of interest across 18 sections of path divided into 10-mile walks and cycle rides through the three National Parks and non-park areas.



Researched on foot over many months and illustrated with stunning photography, this inspiring and practical guide is the perfect companion to Britain's 'holy grail' trail.
