Why read it
This all-in-one, practical guide takes you on the iconic 191-mile Coast to Coast Path across northern England, following the route inspired by Alfred Wainwright. Walking from the Irish Sea to the North Sea, you'll cross three stunning national parks—the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, and the North York Moors—and experience the very best of the English countryside: rugged mountains and lakes, gentle dales and stone-built villages, wild moorland, sea cliffs, and charming fishing villages. Packed with everything you need to plan and complete your journey, this guide features 109 large-scale walking maps at just under 1:20,000, showing route times, places to stay, places to eat, points of interest, and 9 town plans. You'll also find 14 colour stage maps with hill and descent profiles, detailed reviews of campsites, bunkhouses, hostels, B&Bs, pubs and hotels, and recommendations for cafes, teashops, restaurants and takeaways along the way. A full-colour flower guide and illustrated wildlife section help you understand the local environment, while comprehensive public transport information covers all access points on the path. Whether you're tackling the entire route over two weeks or exploring highlights on day walks and short breaks, this guide includes flexible itineraries for all walkers, plus GPS waypoints (also downloadable from the Trailblazer website), cultural and historical information, and guidance on green hiking practices to minimize your impact on the landscape.
