Head to Head

Cumbria, E Yorkshire, N Yorkshire

328 km / 204 miles
Responding to A Wainwrights challenge to devise one's own cross country marathons, John Williams has created a route from Flamborough Head to St Bees Head. The route uses parts of the Yorkshire Centenary Way, the Wolds Way, the Nidderdale Way and the Dales Way, and visits the Howardian Hills, Ripon, Kettlestang Hill, Wharfedale, Littondale, the '3 Peaks' and Dentdale, finishing with a crossing of the Lake District.

The route description does not prescribe a detailed route but gives the reader the benefit of the author's experience of walking the route and the interesting places he visited.
