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 the best-known and arguably the most challenging of the lot.
Through the wild landscapes of the Peaks, Pennines, Yorkshire Dales and the Cheviot Hills, this 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.
From £385 per person
Follow the River Tees through hay meadows bursting with wildflowers past a series of cascades that builds to the largest waterfall in England. The wild, empty moors of the North Pennines lie ahead, home to a variety of grouse, curlew, and hardy sheep.
This taste of the Pennine Way includes one of its best viewpoints: the glaciated chasm of High Cup Nick, which sweeps the gaze out over the mountains of the Lake District. From here, the walk descends to Dufton, nestled in the shadow of Cross Fell.

This itinerary lists our preferred overnight stops for this tour. Sometimes there may be a shortage of available accommodation in a preferred location, in which case we will transfer you from the trail to your accommodation and back again at no extra charge. Overnight stops marked with a (T) will always require transfers as standard.
Overnight stops marked with an (L) have very limited accommodation, and therefore more often than not will also require a transfer, particularly on bank holidays and weekends. We will use non-transfer accommodation wherever possible.
The daily mileages quoted are average trail miles only and do not include the distance from the trail to your accommodation. We do not expect you to have to travel more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation in most cases; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard if practical. A very limited number of stops will require you to travel on foot up to two miles off the trail, however these instances will be clearly communicated to you if applicable.
Further transfers may also be required due to some accommodations having a two-night minimum booking policy, especially at weekends.
Below are the additional costs that may apply depending on your requirements. Dog-friendly tours are subject to a Daily Dog Charge, which will be listed below if applicable. Our standard prices per person are based upon two people sharing a room; if you are on your own, or are part of a group but require a room of your own, then the Solo Traveller or Single Supplements apply respectively:
