Walking Holidays in Northern England

Coast To Coast Path Walking Holidays

The Coast to Coast Path is one of Britain's most famous walks. The author Alfred Wainwright carefully and meticulously devised the route in 1973 to encompass the most fantastic scenery across the landscape. The result is a delightful slice of British scenery, history and culture. It proudly boasts the spectacular national parks of The Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North Yorkshire Moors, some highly attractive villages and towns such as Richmond, and rewards those who complete it with a wonderful sense of achievement.

Hadrian's Wall Walking Holidays

The Unesco World Heritage site of Hadrian's Wall is a majestic and staggering monument to Roman ingenuity, stretching from the vibrant and proud city of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne to the peaceful solitude of the Solway Firth via historic Carlisle. Hadrian's Wall passes through the beautiful and unique Northumberland National Park and is littered with Roman turrets, temples and forts including outstanding Vindolanda and Housesteads. The scenery on this epic walking holiday is as majestic as the history and takes in distant panoramas of The Pennines, Scotland, the peaks of The Lake District and Solway Firth.
