About Blakey Ridge

On a treeless moorland plateau at 400m/1312 feet above sea level Blakey is for most walkers the highest and most isolated overnight stop on the whole route. There are only two buildings at Blakey itself: one of them is a pub with some good accommodation as well a bar and restaurant. Camping is always possible.

Feel free to browse around our comprehensive database of hotels along the The Coast to Coast Path, but please mention the Sherpa Van Project when you get in touch.
