The Cross Britain Way is a hiking trail of 280 miles across the breadth of Great Britain: its eastern starting point is Boston in Lincolnshire, close by the east coast, and its western in Barmouth in Merionethshire, on the west coast.[1]
The route was launched in September 2014 and is one of the Macmillan Ways, a group of paths created to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.[2][3] It is fully waymarked, and a comprehensive guidebook comprising route directions, maps, photographs and an accommodation list has been published and can be obtained from Macmillan Ways Association.[4]
The terrain varies from the flat land of the Great Fen to the Welsh Berwyn Mountains. There is a total of 24,925 feet of ascent, and the highest point reached is at 1,709 feet.[5]
