Pennine Way, National Trail through Pennine hills, England and Scotland.
The Pennine Way extends 268 miles from Edale in Peak District to Kirk Yetholm, crossing three national parks and reaching heights over 2,900 feet at Cross Fell.
Journalist Tom Stephenson initiated the trail concept in 1935, drawing inspiration from American trails, leading to its official establishment and opening ceremony in 1965.
The trail passes through Kinder Scout, site of the 1932 Mass Trespass, marking a turning point in public access rights to private lands in Britain.
The path includes 287 gates, 249 timber stiles, 183 stone stiles, and 204 bridges, with designated rest points in towns like Hebden Bridge and Hawes.
The final section from Byrness to Kirk Yetholm spans 27 miles without settlements, making it the longest uninhabited stretch of any National Trail in Britain.
