The South West Coast Path stretches 630 miles from from Minehead in Somerset to Poole Harbour in Dorset, and is one of the world's great walks. This new WW holiday covers what is probably the most dramatic stretch of the Path around Lands End from St Ives to Penzance. The holiday starts and finishes with a night at Penzance youth hostel (where cars can be left for the duration of the trip). The first morning we will have transport across the penninsula to St Ives, and after a stroll through town we'll start out along the rocky cliff path to the tiny village of Zennor, perhaps spotting seals along the way. We stay one night at Zennor hostel eating out at Zennor's village pub (Zennor evening meal is not included - from £12). The next morning we continue onwards past Cape Cornwall to Lands End YH. Here we stay for 3 nights with transport to and from our walks each day as we progress around this most dramatic and particularly beautiful section of the path. On one evening there will be an opportunity to visit the famous Minack outdoor theatre perched on the cliffs. On our last day we complete the distance to Penzance for our last night (or you can ask us if you would like to stay on for an extra night here). Your luggage will be taken ahead for you as we move from place to place; you carry a day pack only. Guided by Marian.

The famous Coast to Coast walk was devised by Wainwright to link the Irish Sea and the North Sea. It is a route rather than an official long distance path, walking 190 miles from St Bees Head through the Lake District, and across the Pennines, Yorkshire Dales, and North York Moors to Robin Hood's Bay on the east coast. It is one of Britain's most popular long distance walks and undoubtedly includes some of the finest upland scenery in England. On this holiday with Marian we will complete the walk in 14 days, with daily distances ranging from 8 miles on two of the higher Lake District days to as many as 23 miles as we near the end of our journey (average: 14 miles a day). The amount of daily ascent is greatest early on - ranging from 550m-750m a day as we traverse the Lakeland fells and Pennines, then increasing again briefly as we cross the North York Moors with a great sense of achievement to reach Robin Hood's Bay. 5 of the nights are spent in youth hostel dormitories and include evening meals. The other 10 are spent in 2-4 bedded rooms in small hotels and B&Bs where evening meals are not included (from £12). Packed lunches and luggage transport are included throughout - you carry a day pack only. This holiday is best reached by public transport - see below.
