About the trail

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.

Pennine Way Short Break - North Section

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.
