A trail running holiday along Wainwright’s famous trail, from St Bees to Robin Hood’s Bay.
From £370 per person
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. Our Coast to Coast trail running holidays do what they say on the tin: they offer the opportunity to cross the width of England on foot, from one coast to the other.
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 £540 per person
From the old market town of Kirkby Stephen, the eastern leg of our Coast to Coast trail running holiday skips the harsh climbs of the Lake District in favour of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors. But this run still isn’t flat — far from it. Summit Hartley Fell to Nine Standards Rigg, host to incredible views, and explore Yorkshire’s windswept hills and sweeping valleys across two National Parks.
This is the more manageable section of the Coast to Coast, but it’s no less epic. Your holiday will be all about open spaces and big views, with warm pubs and local teashops in between. Your journey finds its end at Robin Hood’s Bay and the North Sea.
This route can be run in the opposite direction upon request. Please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.

This itinerary lists our preferred overnight stops for this tour. Sometimes there may be a shortage of available accommodation in a preferred location, in which case we will transfer you from the trail to your accommodation and back again at no extra charge. Overnight stops marked with a (T) will always require transfers as standard.
Overnight stops marked with an (L) have very limited accommodation, and therefore more often than not will also require a transfer, particularly on bank holidays and weekends. We will use non-transfer accommodation wherever possible.
The daily mileages quoted are average trail miles only and do not include the distance from the trail to your accommodation. We do not expect you to have to travel more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation in most cases; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard if practical. A very limited number of stops will require you to travel on foot up to two miles off the trail, however these instances will be clearly communicated to you if applicable.
Further transfers may also be required due to some accommodations having a two-night minimum booking policy, especially at weekends.
Below are the additional costs that may apply depending on your requirements. Dog-friendly tours are subject to a Daily Dog Charge, which will be listed below if applicable. Our standard prices per person are based upon two people sharing a room; if you are on your own, or are part of a group but require a room of your own, then the Solo Traveller or Single Supplements apply respectively:
