Pennine Way

Britain's First National Trail

The Pennine Way holds a special place in British walking history as the country's first official National Trail, opened in 1965 after decades of campaigning. Stretching 268 miles from Edale in the Peak District to Kirk Yetholm on the Scottish border, this legendary route follows the backbone of England along the Pennine hills.

The trail takes walkers through some of northern England's most dramatic landscapes, including the Yorkshire Dales, the wild moorlands of the North Pennines, and the Cheviot Hills. Expect challenging terrain, unpredictable weather, and a true sense of wilderness that has tested and rewarded walkers for over half a century.
