Coast to Coast Walk: The exact route through Yorkshire and pubs and cafes along the way including Amanda Owen’s farm and tearoom

The route was devised by Alfred Wainwright who wrote a book on the walking trail in 1973 and has since been revised numerous times in recent years by hikers. It passes through three contrasting national parks: the Lake District National Park, Yorkshire Dales National Park and the North York Moors National Park.

The walking route begins in the Irish Sea at St Bees and ends in the North Sea at Robin Hood’s Bay and in 2022 it was announced that the trail would become an official National Trail following a successful campaign by the Wainwright Society.

It is considered the most popular long distance trail in Britain due to its varied picturesque landscapes with seaside resorts, cliff tops, high mountains and lakesides, heather moors and deep cut valleys, green rolling hills and river track. The route also passes through some of Yorkshire’s most charming villages and towns along the way.
