Robin Hood's Bay to St Bees: 200 miles across Northern England The Coast to Coast Walk: A Personal Travelogue is based on the route described in The Coast-to-Coast Walk by Alfred Wainwright. Inspired to follow in Wainwright’s footsteps, Trevor K Bell laced up his boots in the early 90s and set off along the same pathways. The result is a historical, and partly anecdotal, account of the route from Robin Hood’s Bay, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, to St Bees in Cumbria, which evokes a sense of nostalgia for an England which is fast disappearing. Going well beyond the usual trail guide, the author covers such topics as, the history, people and villages along the way; the flora and fauna, folklore and fells, waterfalls and witches. He examines the industrial, mining, and ecclesiastical history as he puts one foot in front of the other, describing his encounters with a light, and often humorous, touch.

Whether it is the resuscitated corpse that visits a hotel gust in The House of the Dead or the maleficent returning warlock cocooning a tomb robber in Mad Allen, or the taking shape of a vague apprehension in A School Story, or a human sacrifice in Blood of the Lamb, Bell knows that what we fear most is the sensation of being afraid and that it is the reader’s imagination which conjures up the true phantoms of terror.
