Overview
Summary
The W2W - Walney to Whitby cycle route makes for a brilliant coast to coast cycling holiday with a difference. It's an alternative coast to coast cycle tour to the C2C and the Walney to Wear route, beginning on the wind-swept island of Walney, near Barrow-in-Furness and ending in Whitby, home of arguably the best fish and chips in England!

The cycling route skirts around the undiscovered southern Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and crosses the stunning North York Moors on its way to the UK's rugged east coast. Along the way you will cycle past Furness Abbey and Sizergh Castle and you can sample the famous sticky toffee pudding in Cartmel. You will also have miles of remote isolation as you cycle through the Howgill Fells and bike to the highest pub in England! This is a cycle journey not to be missed.
