A Paddy Dillon guide to walking The Pennine Way, Britain’s first National Trail, from Edale, Derbyshire, England to Kirk Yetholm, Scotland, backpacking through the Peak District, South and North Pennines, Yorkshire Dales, Hadrian’s Wall, Northumberland, Cheviots and Borders. It stays high on the moors, dropping down to pretty villages each evening.

Seasons

Essentially a summer walk, though it can be completed in spring or autumn, but the winter months are solely for dedicated and experienced long-distance walkers.

Centres

Edale, Crowden, Hebden Bridge, Cowling, Gargrave, Malham, Horton in Ribblesdale, Hawes, Keld, Bowes, Middleton-in-Teesdale, Dufton, Alston, Hadrian’s Wall, Bellingham, Byrness, Kirk Yetholm

Difficulty

A challenging walk, often across high, exposed moorlands. No problems on fine, sunny days, but some parts can be exceptionally difficult in bad weather. In mist, careful navigation is required, but on the whole the route is well-signposted. Suitable for backpackers and youth hostellers, but ample B&B accommodation is also available. Previous long-distance walking experience is an advantage.
