Coast to Coast St Bees to Robin Hoods Bay Rucksack Readers Walking Guidebook

by: Sandra Bardwell and Jacquetta Megarry
The Coast to Coast walk runs for 184 miles (296 km) through the finest scenery in northern England. Its end points, the lovely villages of St Bees and Robin Hood's Bay are both accessible by public transport.
