A trail running holiday along Wainwright’s famous trail, from St Bees to Robin Hood’s Bay.
From £370 per person
Our Coast to Coast trail running holidays do what they say on the tin: they offer the opportunity to cross the breadth of England on foot, from one coast to the other. You'll triumph over a slew of challenging trails through the Lake District, the fell-running capital of England, before taking off across the Yorkshire Dales, Pennines and the wilderness of the North York Moors.
This year, this famous trail is at long last on its way to recognition as a National Trail. The work is still in progress, to be completed in 2025, but anyone running the Coast to Coast will notice brand new waymarkers going in, complete with the National Trail acorn. It’s an exciting time for one of the UK’s best-loved routes!
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.
We also organise walking holidays along this route. Find out more.
From £800 per person
The 190-mile (304 km) Coast to Coast trail running holiday carries you through three National Parks on its direct but dramatic route across England.
It’s in at the deep end with the country’s fell-running capital, the Lake District, to kick things off, followed by the windswept yellow hills of the Yorkshire Dales, the heathery, peaty Pennines, and the wildness of the North York Moors, purple in late summer.
With sporadic waymarks and some hill descents that absolutely require a compass, the Coast to Coast favours the seasoned outdoorsperson and will test your ability to navigate — but the trail is currently being improved as it builds towards National Trail status, with plenty of new waymarkers added in over the course of the year. When the work is completed in 2025, this trail will be far easier to navigate.
There’s great satisfaction to be had in working your way from one shore to finish at another, seeing the country change as you go.
This route can be run in the opposite direction upon request. Please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.
