Planned to seek out the most spectacular high ground across the country,
it takes you from the sea in the west to the sea in the east via three
of England's loveliest National Parks: the Lake District, the Yorkshire
Dales and the North York Moors.
Its 192 miles, from the quiet
Cumbrian village of St Bees to Robin Hood's Bay, are a substantial test
of endurance that will take even a fit walker a fortnight to accomplish,
but also a wonderfully varying walk, from sea cliffs to craggy
mountains and lakes, then across rolling dales and finally heather
moorland. For everyone who reaches Wainwright's Bar at journey's end on
the North Yorkshire coast it will have been the walk of a lifetime.
