This article is an itinerary.

Pennine Way is a designated UK National Trail in the United Kingdom running for 429km (268 miles) from Edale in Derbyshire up to Kirk Yetholm in the Scottish Borders. On its way, the route passes through parts of the Peak District, the Yorkshire Dales and Northumberland National Park.

Although the Pennine way can be walked in either direction, general advice is to head from South to North. This way you tend to have the wind at your back, and most travel guides (including this one) are written in this direction.
