PENNINE WAY
Route and Accommodation Guide
|
FACTFILE |
|
Length
|
268 miles/429km over
the Pennine Mountain tops along the rugged backbone of England, from the
Peak District through the Yorkshire Dales and over Hadrian's Wall to the
Cheviots. Amongst the finest upland walking in England. The walk
everyone should do once in a lifetime. |
|
Terrain
|
Challenging. From
the gritstone moorlands of Derbyshire to the springy limestone turf of
the Yorkshire Dales. Natural features include thundering waterfalls,
huge limestone cliffs and large areas of blanket bogland. Some places
become overcrowded at peak times, and serious erosion has occurred,
especially on the slopes of Kinder Scout and Pen-y-Ghent. Walkers
should consequently approach the route with sensitivity.
Unless you are an experienced long-distance walker you
should not tackle the Pennine Way alone. |
