An iconic walk across England via the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors.
From £378 per person
Created by Alfred Wainwright, the Coast to Coast Walk crosses the breadth of the North of England from St Bees on the west coast to Robin Hood’s Bay on the east coast. Some of the most varied and beautiful scenery in the country lies ahead, spread over three National Parks.
Wainwright’s Coast to Coast Walk clambers the rugged mountains of the Lake District to earn views over glittering tarns. It winds through the pretty valleys of the Yorkshire Dales and sets out across the expansive heather moorland of the North York Moors. Dramatic coastal scenery waits at the end, with a twisting descent to Robin Hood’s Bay.
Choose this country-crossing walking holiday and explore the best landscapes of Northern England.
At long last, this well-known walking holiday is on its way to recognition as a National Trail. The work is still in progress, but anyone walking the Coast to Coast will notice brand-new waymarkers going in, complete with the National Trail acorn.

“Very well organised with no problems. Lovely scenery, lovely weather, good company.”Mr Longley, UK
“Met some lovely people. It was a great adventure.”Mr Greenhead, UK
“We had a wonderful time.”Mrs Westfall, USA
“Thanks for organising this really stunning holiday!!”Mr Darwen, UK
“I went on a partial reverse Coast to Coast walk with you in May this year with my daughter and son-in-law (part of the time only). We had a thoroughly enjoyable time and your organisation was excellent throughout. We also noted that those you contract speak highly of Contour Holidays.”Mr Tweed, UK
“We knew we were going to walk through some of the most picturesque landscapes in England and we certainly were not disappointed…. The walk was indeed invigorating but not unmanageable”Mr Morgan, USA
“Perfect weather which helped us a lot. Some challenges for us but we managed it. This holiday was postponed twice because of covid. As we are now in our 70\'s we were aware that we were 18 months/2 years older than when it was first booked which might have made a difference had the weather been awful. We enjoyed it all. We enjoyed it all. What was best about it was that every single day was different from the days before.”Mrs Cartledge, UK
“A fabulous and varied walk, with different beautiful scenery every day. Met lots of nice people doing the same, and great fun to share experiences. Almost without exception, the organisation by Contours was flawless, though rather a lot of taxi transfers and Contours are missing a trick by not providing a mobile phone app for the route. I can see why this is often regarded as Britain's best long-distance walk. Organisation was very good.”Mr Gates, UK
“Pretty much stress free. TBH the best holiday we have had. Most places we stayed at looked after us and made us feel very welcome, even bags in most places were in our room on arrival. We are still buzzing with great memories. We were actually recommended Contours by someone who had done Coast 2 Coast many years ago! Already looking at the next one, there's a few to tick off.”Mr O’Brien, UK
