About this trail
The Lyke Wake Walk is a 40-mile (64 km) challenge walk across the highest and widest part of the North York Moors National Park in North Yorkshire, England. The route is named after the "Lyke-Wake Dirge" and commemorates the many corpses carried over the moors on various old coffin routes and the ancient burial mounds encountered on the way. The name derives from a lyke, the corpse, and the wake, the watch over the deceased. Its associated club has a social structure, culture and rituals based on the walk and Christian and folklore traditions from the area through which it passes.
