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 £908 per person
Ancient packhorse trails and drovers’ ways traverse this appealing southern section of the Pennine Way across the windswept moors of the South Pennines.
Wild and remote, the Pennines have a unique atmosphere. It’s built on views like those from Kinder Scout and Pinshaw Beacon, and immersive landscapes like that at Top Withen, a romantic moorland setting that reputedly inspired Wuthering Heights.
Add to this the limestone scenery of the Yorkshire Dales, and the bustling villages that welcome you in all along the route, and the South Section of the Pennine Way becomes a windswept and beautiful exploration of daunting landscapes and cosy inns.
