Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk

Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk

Eric Robson joins the master fellwalker and shares the highlights of his 190 mile walk from St. Bees Head in Cumbria to Robin Hood's Bay on the North Yorkshire Coast. This classic, but unofficial, long-distance route was devised by Wainwright in 1972 and traversed what AW described as "the grandest territory in the North of England." Two-thirds of the route lie within three National Parks and today AW’s achievement is regarded by discerning walkers as the finest long trek in Britain.

Mount Grace Priory to Robin Hood's Bay

The final stage of Wainwright's creation is a fitting climax: savouring the still beauty of the North York Moors, he tells Eric Robson of his love for this countryside, and of the mixture of elation and sadness that marks their arrival on the east coast.
