The Pennine Way

Edale to Kirk Yetholm 429km/268 miles The Pennine Way, following a high and wild course along the backbone of England from the Peak District to the Scottish borders, is one of Britain's best known and toughest long distance trails. The route was first proposed in a 1935 newspaper article by Tom Stephenson walkers' champion and for many years Secretary of the Ramblers' Association. Following ongoing pressure from the Ramblers, the Pennine Way Association and other walkers' groups, it was designated as Britain's first official long distance footpath in 1951, under new post-war legislation. The route finally opened in April 1965, thirty years after Stephenson's original article. It celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2005. For all but the southernmost 24km of its course, the Way now forms part of European footpath E2. The Ordnance Survey covers the Pennine Way on 10 Landranger maps at a scale of 1:50,000. The sheet numbers are 74, 80, 86, 87, 91, 92, 98, 103, 109 and 110. For greater detail, eight Explorer maps cover the route at a scale of 1:25,000, and the sheet numbers are OL1, OL2, OL16, OL21, OL30, OL31, OL42 and OL43 Harvey publishes three maps covering the Pennine Way on water-resistant paper at a scale of 1:40,000. These are Pennine Way South, Pennine Way Central and Pennine Way North
