Guidebook to the 270 mile Pennine Way National Trail that runs from
Edale in Derbyshire to Kirk Yetholm, on the border of Scotland. It's a
long walk and a hard walk, but one that is well worth the effort. Most
walkers take two or three weeks to walk the way, and on average it tends
to work out at around 18 days. The guide gives a detailed description of
the official route, with variants and is illustrated with photographs
throughout the seasons and OS map extracts. With full information about
accommodation, public transport and other facilities available. The
Pennine Way was the first long-distance path to be created in Britain,
back in 1965. It traverses the backbone of England, striving to stay
high on the moors, yet dropping down to little towns and villages each
evening. It has always been a popular trail, rightly regarded as a
challenge, running higher and wilder than any other National Trail.
