The world famous Coast to Coast walking route across the North of England continues to be one of the most popular long-distance walks in the world. It is considered a challenge for many who consider themselves to be fit and healthy. The still unofficial Coast to Coast walk was devised by writer and hill-walker Alfred Wainwright.

My hiking holiday in St Ives Cornwall with Holiday Fellowship (HF) Holidays was a great experience. St Ives is a delightful resort town with a maze-like old fishing area. It’s a perfect centre from which to discover the surrounding region. The HF Holidays’ Hiking Leaders were great. During the day hiking they guided us in a caring and considerate way, and also pointed out places of interest. There were 5 days of hikes and the hiking time was around 5 to 7 hours each day. We spent our free day taking a look around St Ives.

We arrived in Llangennith on the west coast of The Gower Peninsula in South Wales on the Monday. On Tuesday we did the Three Cliffs Bay Day Hiking. On Wednesday we hiked around and over Rhossili Down and then hiked over to Worms Head. Finally, on the Thursday we went on a day hike from Port Eynon To Rhossili. A fabulous holiday with some good hiking and some great scenery.
