An iconic walking trail through the Peak District, Pennines, Yorkshire and Northumberland.
From £385 per person
The Pennine Way was Britain’s first ever National Trail, and it remains one of the best-known and arguably the most challenging of the lot. We offer holidays along its full 265-mile length, as well as some shorter options to make this monster of a trail fit busier schedules.
Through the wild landscapes of the Peaks, Pennines, Yorkshire Dales and the Cheviot Hills, the Pennine Way walking holiday straddles the spine of England as it stretches from Edale to Kirk Yetholm, taking in a wide variety of scenery from mountains to moorland. If you embark on the Pennine Way, expect to encounter inclement weather, phenomenal climbs and the binding comradery of walkers on a truly epic adventure.
We offer multiple holiday options along this trail. If you wish to experience the entire trail, simply select the first option from the list below.
We also organise trail running holidays along this route. Find out more.
From £480 per person
The best-preserved and most dramatic stretch of Hadrian’s Wall provides an impressive start to the north section of the Pennine Way. Yet the core strength of this walking holiday lies in its most demanding sections, where huge views are won with long climbs through remote territory.
There’s utterly exhilarating walking along the border ridge of the Cheviot Hills, and glorious vistas from Windy Gyle and the Schill, not to mention the cliff-flanked ravine and waterfall of Hen Hole.
Those welcoming, walker-wise inns that are such an integral part of the full trail are just as prevalent along its northernmost section. We particularly recommend the bar of the Border Hotel!
