Alfred Wainwright's route, from Cumbria to North Yorkshire, is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
...to Robin Hood's Bay in North YorkshireChris Padmore, owner of Bank House Farm Hostel, about a mile off the route in the North Yorkshire hillside village of Glaisdale, said Julia Bradbury's 2009 series Wainwright Walks: Coast to Coast had piqued interest.
"There's increased interest in the walk. The television series helped. About 10% of our business now comes from coast-to-coast walkers. Because we're a little bit off the route, we've started collecting walkers from the path - as well as the village pub."Accompanied by his two brothers, he completed the walk, faithfully following Wainwright's guidebook, about five years ago. He now enjoys trading stories of his adventures with his guests.
He said: "The Coast-to-Coast walk is one of, if not the most, popular long-distance walk in the UK. It continues to stand the test of time. Natural England said the upgraded route, featuring improved signage and path structures, was expected to open in October 2025."His pictorial guidebooks, including Coast to Coast, have stood the test of time and are the best descriptions of the fells," he said.
