Pennine Way
Routes offered on this trail
The Pennine Way is an iconic National Trail, cutting through the length of England’s Northern uplands. From the Hills of the Derbyshire Peak District up through the stunning Yorkshire Dales, crossing over the historic Hadrian’s Wall to end at the Scottish boarder in Kirk Yetholm. This is a trail of immense beauty, covering a large amount of hill walking in often very remote areas. The path consists of varying terrain that crosses through valleys and dales, which can be very challenging in some places. Only offered in one direction, the route can be walked as a whole or as the south, central or northern section.
This trail has frequent steep climbs over some more difficult terrain, so is classed as a challenging walk. Recommended for experienced walkers.
On route you will have the opportunity to visit High Force- England's biggest waterfall, Wensleydale Creamery- the home of Wensleydale cheese, Hadrian's Wall and a large number of reservoirs.
The mileage shown below is from where the Pennine Way path starts and finishes each day and is for your guidance only. A large part of this walk includes along rural areas, so you will find that sometimes the accommodations are very close to the path and other times you will need to walk a little further to reach your accommodation. You will not be asked to walk any further than one and a half miles from the path to your accommodation. Please see the Itinerary pages for more details.
Dates to avoid in the area, due to large events taking all of the accommodation.

A fabulous way to make your holiday more bespoke.
We give you some ideas below on choice places to stop for that extra day.
Malham
One of the most visited villages in the Yorkshire Dales with numerous tea shops, home to the National Park Information Centre which is open daily from March to October. A great place to spend a rest day visiting the spectacular Malham Cove, with a vertical cliff face of about 260 feet high and the huge gorge of Gordale Scar. A small walk further past Gordale Scar is the beautiful waterfall and pool of Jenet’s Floss.
Hawes
Hawes is another excellent rest day location, home to the Wensleydale Creamery, a source of the world-famous Wensleydale Cheese, with a unique tasting room open to visitors. Hawes is a bustling market town with range of shops and cafes, also home to England’s highest single drop waterfall Hardraw Force.
Middleton on Tees
At about the half way point of the central section of the Pennine way is Middleton-on-Tees. A small market town full of Victorian architecture and shops. For a relaxing rest day this is a perfect location.
Once Brewed
On the Northern section of the Pennine way is Once Brewed, situated close to the Hadrian’s Wall. A rest day here can be used to explore the wonderful history of the Roman built wall. There is a very popular circular walk from Twice Brewed which takes you to the famous historical locations of Vindolanda; an archaeological site with museum and Housesteads Roman fort; the most complete Roman fort in Britian.
