Wainwright’s Coast to Coast Walk

My journey along Wainwrights’s Coast to Coast Walk from St Bee’s Head to Robin Hood’s Bay. Walking from the Irish Sea to the North Sea and through three National Parks this walk has everything, Mountains, Dales, Moorland and Ocean and is soon to become a National Trail. Click on the walk to read the post or use the interactive map to see the route.
