Episode 6: The End of the Road

BBC Four - Wainwright Walks: Coast to Coast, The End of the Road

Julia Bradbury sets out on the final stage of her walk; Robin Hood's Bay is the goal.

Julia Bradbury sets out on the final stage of her walk. Robin Hood's Bay is the goal, but first she must complete the North York Moors and walk through Eskdale.

Julia Bradbury follows in the footsteps of legendary guidebook writer Alfred Wainwright by walking across the whole of northern England from the west to the east coast .

This was Wainwright's last great venture and has become his greatest legacy - a beautifully simple proposition, linking three national parks that lie between the Irish and the North Sea. 

36 years after its creation, Julia is off through sunshine, wind and rain, to cross the changing landscape, understand the history and meet the people that make up almost 200 miles of northern England.   

Starting at the highest and most remote overnight spot of the whole walk, Julia sets out on the final stage. Robin Hood's Bay is the goal, but first she must complete the North York Moors and walk through Eskdale, before getting a magical first glimpse of the North Sea. 

The tranquil woods of Littlebeck and the clifftop finale provide ample opportunity to reflect on a great adventure and the enduring legacy of the uniquely passionate Wainwright.
