The Pennine Way was the first and is probably now the best-known of all the UK’s National Trails, a series of managed long distance walks through some of the UK's finest landscapes. The trail weaves its way north from the tiny village of Edale, crossing through the three national parks of the Peak District, Yorkshire Dales and Northumberland. It finishes in the rolling Cheviot Hills on the border with Scotland and forms what is often referred to as the "Spine of England". Covering hugely varied terrain from heather-clad and misty moorlands, old roman roads, to quiet riverside paths through picturesque valleys, this walk offers you a true snapshot of England's wonderful countryside.
As you enjoy the walk, using our carefully written route notes, relax safe in the knowledge that at the end of the day a warm and friendly welcome awaits you at one of our cosy B&B's or perhaps a traditional coaching inn, with your bags safely waiting for you.
