The Pennine Way

(Moderate to challenging terrain, 268 miles, 16–21 days end-to-end, or shorter day hikes available)

Britain’s first National Trail, the Pennine Way is a legendary long-distance footpath that runs 268 miles from Edale in the Peak District to Kirk Yetholm in the Scottish Borders. Often called the “spine of England,” it traverses wild moorlands, dramatic uplands, and some of the country’s most remote and beautiful terrain.

The southern section, beginning in Edale, offers accessible day walks with unforgettable views—Kinder Scout, Jacob’s Ladder, and the Vale of Edale are all within reach. Whether guests walk a short stretch or dream of completing the full route—typically a 16–21 day journey—the Pennine Way delivers challenge, solitude, and a deep connection to the land.

Expect stone-paved paths, windswept ridges, and the occasional bog—along with a profound sense of achievement. It’s a trail that rewards preparation, resilience, and a love of raw, elemental landscapes.
