The Coast to Coast walk passes through popular Yorkshire locations including two national parks: the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the North York Moors National Park. The current measured distance of the walk is reported to be 182 miles long.

As Phil, the dogs and their owners cross the breadth of Britain from west to east, they discover the best places to have fun with their pups and search for dog-friendly places to stay and chew on a toy as they take a break along the way.

On their walks, Phil, Billy, Libby and JB enjoy a casual chat about life with their pets, as well as digging deeper into their life whilst taking in the stunning scenery and beautiful locations of northern England.
