Improvements at the Start of Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk
Wainwright's Coast to Path Walk has always been one of our most popular walking holidays. It is has always been a paradox that, although the route goes from St Bees in the west to Robin Hoods Bay in the east, the first steps you take on leaving St Bees are easterly, as you head out to the spectacular sandstone cliffs of St Bees Head.
The path follows the coastline past the headland , only leaving the coast tat Birkam’s Quarry.- until now. But now, Marshalls’ the company who run the quarry, have built a new 2 meter wide path cliff top path, around the northern side of the workings – with spectacular views into the quarry, and out over the Irish Sea. This means the Coast to Coast Path can follow the coastline for a further few hundred meters before striking inland.
