A trail running holiday along Wainwright’s famous trail, from St Bees to Robin Hood’s Bay.
From £370 per person
Triumph over a slew of challenging trails through the Lake District, the fell-running capital of England, before taking off across the Yorkshire Dales, Pennines and the wilderness of the North York Moors. Our Coast to Coast trail running holidays do what they say on the tin: they offer the opportunity to cross the width of England on foot, from one coast to the other.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.
From £370 per person
This short break offers runners a chance to explore a short stretch of Wainwright’s iconic Coast to Coast route, ideal for those with little time or those needing to practise their fell running and navigation skills. This tour explores one of England’s most beautiful National Parks, filled with dramatic mountains, quaint villages and expansive lakes.
Setting off from Ennerdale Bridge, the trail encounters a range of rugged fells, glittering tarns, valley pastures and fabulous waterfalls as it undulates across remote terrain towards the beautiful town of Patterdale. While the ongoing series of summits and descents will test any runner’s endurance, the staggering scenery and hilltop viewpoints continuously serve as excellent motivation throughout your run.
This route can be run in the opposite direction upon request. Please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.

This itinerary lists our preferred overnight stops for this tour. Sometimes there may be a shortage of available accommodation in a preferred location, in which case we will transfer you from the trail to your accommodation and back again at no extra charge. Overnight stops marked with a (T) will always require transfers as standard.
Overnight stops marked with an (L) have very limited accommodation, and therefore more often than not will also require a transfer, particularly on bank holidays and weekends. We will use non-transfer accommodation wherever possible.
The daily mileages quoted are average trail miles only and do not include the distance from the trail to your accommodation. We do not expect you to have to travel more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation in most cases; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard if practical. A very limited number of stops will require you to travel on foot up to two miles off the trail, however these instances will be clearly communicated to you if applicable.
Further transfers may also be required due to some accommodations having a two-night minimum booking policy, especially at weekends.
Below are the additional costs that may apply depending on your requirements. Dog-friendly tours are subject to a Daily Dog Charge, which will be listed below if applicable. Our standard prices per person are based upon two people sharing a room; if you are on your own, or are part of a group but require a room of your own, then the Solo Traveller or Single Supplements apply respectively:
