Wainwright's Coast-to-Coast walk came second in a recent search to find the 50 best walks in the world.
The 190-mile cross-country route was behind only Milford Track, New Zealand, according to Country Walking magazine.
The walk, which starts at St. Bees and ends at Robin Hood's Bay, North Yorkshire, was devised by Alfred Wainwright in the 1970's.
The Coast-to-Coast walk takes in three national parks - the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors - and takes an average of 13 days to complete.

Sunday Times Critics Choice:
“She is a little too chatty a companion for most walkers, but you can’t argue with the fact that Julia Bradbury has done well to complete the 192 mile trek from St Bees Head on the western coast of England to Robin Hood’s Bay on the east. This trip has been lifted out of the modern obsession with personal journeys by the fantastic clips of Alfred Wainwright talking to Eric Robson in an earlier walking show, and, with the incomparable BBC archive to mine, it may prove a blueprint for series to come.” |
