The Pennine Way, Britain’s best-known National Trail, winds for 256 miles (412km) over wild moorland and through quiet dales following the backbone of northern England. Crossing three national parks – the Peak District, Yorkshire Dales and Northumberland – this superb footpath showcases Britain’s finest upland scenery, while touching the literary landscape of the Brontë family and Roman history along Hadrian’s Wall.
