The Coast to Coast Trail in Yorkshire, England
Stretching from St Bees to Robin Hood’s Bay, the 300 km-long (190 miles) Coast to Coast trail is an iconic way to experience Northern England. Traversing counties such as Northumberland, Yorkshire, and Cumbria, you’ll hike through everything from heather-covered hills to the heights of the Lake District. For the most quintessential English countryside, hike through the landscapes of Yorkshire. Quaint stone barns dot the fields, surrounded by the shapes of fluffy sheep. Rolling hills, eerie bogs, patchwork fields and of course numerous postcard-perfect stone villages abound. Hike the entire way or choose to hike the Coast to Coast in sections. This section, from Muker to Keld along the River Swale through the devastatingly beautiful Swaledale, is a perfect bite-sized section for visitors hoping to hike a short section. It’s also along the Pennine Way, another notable long distance trail that winds through the Pennine Mountains, offering plenty of hiking options!
Tip: Stop for tea and scones in the wee village of Muker for refuelling after your hike.
