How this site earns.

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you follow one and book a bed, a train, a bag transfer or a piece of kit, the partner pays us a small commission. The price you pay is the same as if you had gone to them directly.

Every such link is marked with a small Partner label, opens in a new tab, and is tagged so that search engines know it is sponsored. A line near the first such link on a page says the same thing this page does. Links that earn nothing — to National Rail’s journey planner, for example — carry no label because there is nothing to disclose.

• rail — journey planners and ticket sellers for getting to the start and home from the finish.
• accommodation — booking sites for the night's bed on each stage.
• luggage — bag transfer services that move luggage between nights.

No affiliate partnership is active yet; the links you see today earn nothing. This page will list partners as they go live.

Recommendations are never ranked by commission. A stop is suggested because it is where the beds are; a train because it is the train. Where we would recommend something without a link, we recommend it with one; where we would not, no link makes us. This rule is written into the site’s editorial standards.

The planner, the maps, the transport details, the bed scarcity flags and the booking checklist are free and will stay free, with no account and no wall.
