Pennine Way Walking Tours

The Pennine Way

Highlights
  • Hike the “Spine of England” through three National Parks: Peak District, Yorkshire Dales & Northumberland.
  • Explore picturesque villages of the north like Edale and Hebden Bridge.
  • Witness natural wonders of Malham Cove, High Cup Nick, and Kinder Scout.
  • Discover Hadrian’s Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
  • Experience a warm “northern” welcome at cozy B&B's and traditional inns.
  • Challenge yourself on rugged, heather-clad moorlands.

The Pennine Way, the UK’s first National Trail, offers a journey through the heart of England’s wild countryside, from windswept moors and ancient Roman roads to serene river valleys and historic landmarks like Hadrian’s Wall. Spanning 268 miles, the route follows England’s rocky spine from the hills of the Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales National Parks, heading north across the North Pennines and over Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland. The trail then makes its way to the Cheviot Hills, ending in the Scottish Borders in Kirk Yetholm. 

This is arguably the most challenging National Trail, renowned for its rugged terrain and remote nature, making it an ideal choice for seasoned hikers seeking a challenge. Yet, it’s balanced with moments of calm, such as wandering through quaint villages and enjoying the hospitality of local inns. Whether you’re drawn to the history, dramatic landscapes, or the sense of accomplishment, completing this self-guided trip with Macs Adventure delivers a quintessential English hiking experience.
