Walking from Coast to Coast: 18 days

St. Bees, a small town on the west coast of Cumbria, famous for its extensive sandy beach, will be the starting point for this unforgettable walking holiday in the north of England.

This is a preamble of what this route will be like. Start your day by visiting St. Bees Head, a reddish-sand cliff from where you'll have incredible views of Scotland, the Isle of Man, and the south coast. Later, you will continue on your path to the Lake District, a region in the north-west of England characterized by its beautiful landscapes of lakes and mountains, and ascend Dent Hill, a 352-metre-high promontory.

Start your day walking on the shores of Ennerdale Water, a glacial lake located on the western side of Lake District National Park.

Then you will have the option to choose the route to Rosthwaite, in Borrowdale Valley. You can go down the lower part, near the summits in this area of the national park, or on a higher stretch that will be accompanied by fantastic views.
