Kings & Castles Coastal Trail

England offers many wonderful walks both by sea and mountains, like the coastal path in Cornwall and the famous Lake District. But if you long for something more unknown where you meet a genuine England, the coast of Cumbria and Lancashire is worth discovering. You'll even meet a king!
With Lake District peaks in the east and the Irish Sea in the west, you follow parts of the England Coast Path and Cistercian Way, between castles, monasteries and small communities. You stay at characterful hotels and combine walking, train and boat in a very British way. The tides, the history and the relaxed level make this a beautifully meditative walking experience where the details make the whole.
