An iconic self-guided trail running holiday from Edale to Kirk Yetholm through the Peak District, Pennines, Yorkshire and Northumberland.
From £385 per person
From the heart of the Peak District all the way up to Scotland, the Pennine Way is a legendary trail that follows England’s backbone through the windswept wilderness of the north.
But don’t picture the cold slog of the Spine Race when you look at this route. Undertaken in good weather and with reasonable daily mileages, this challenging trail run offers unique and staggering views like the great scoop of High Cup Nick. Villages nestled in the crooks of the Pennines and the Cheviot Hills provide memorable rest stops, and you’ll even visit a stretch of Hadrian’s Wall.
The Pennine Way is full of challenging terrain, but its remote spaces offer endless rewards. A classic challenge.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.
From £385 per person
For those eager to explore the world-renowned Pennine Way, but not quite ready to tackle the full trail in one go, we have developed this short running break. It takes in some of the best bits of the northern section of this iconic National Trail.
Winding northwards from Alston in the North Pennines to Bellingham on the outskirts of Northumberland, the Pennine Way Short Running Break encounters the best-preserved section of the Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site, including several of its forts, turrets and mile castles, perfect for runners with a taste for British history. While the rugged and remote terrain poses a hearty challenge throughout, the views from the many hill tops along the way are breath-taking and exceptionally rewarding.
