The go-to, all-in-one guide to walking the Coast to Coast Path, Britains newest National Trail

The Coast to Coast Path, stretches 190 miles across the width of northern England, from St Bees on the Irish Sea to Robin Hoods Bay on the North Sea, crossing some of the countrys most spectacular landscapes. Based on the route originally conceived by Alfred Wainwright, the Coast to Coast Path was upgraded to become a National Trail in 2026.

Fully re-walked and completely updated to include the many changes required to convert the path to National Trail status, this 11th edition is based around Trailblazers classic large-scale annotated maps derived from Ordnance Survey* mapping, that you can follow directly on the trail. With walking distances, times, accommodation, food stops and key landmarks shown on the map itself - everything you need is in one book.

This fully updated guide includes:

112 large-scale, edited walking maps (just under 1:20,000) - all the detail you need to walk with the book in hand. Walk confidently without switching between apps or extra maps

Unique Trailblazer mapping features - distances, walking times, clear directions, tricky junctions, gradients, places to stay, places to eat and points of interest

Flexible itineraries for all walkers - walk the full coast-to-coast route, choose shorter sections, or sample the highlights. The trail can be walked in either direction, and this guide supports both options with clear, directional mapping

Clear stage planning - helping you judge daily distances, terrain and ascent to suit your pace

Detailed public transport information for access to all points along the trail

Guides to towns and villages with practical advice for all budgets - including cafes, pubs and restaurants, plus B&Bs, hotels, hostels, bunkhouses and campsites

Downloadable waypoints with GPS and what3words references, so you can navigate confidently with or without a device

Ideal for those planning their first multi-day walk and for experienced hikers, the guide supports walkers who prefer to plan their own days rather than follow rigid stages.

*based on Ordnance Survey mapping (out-of-copyright), fully amended and updated by Trailblazer
