Spanning 205 miles, the Pennine Bridleway unfolds through the Pennine hills from Derbyshire to Cumbria. Crafted with equestrians in mind, it also offers an exhilarating experience for mountain bikers and hikers alike.
As a bridleway, it mostly diverts from roads and traffic. Yet, don’t anticipate a smooth ride – it traverses through every imaginable surface, from bumpy fields and mucky single tracks to the well maintained gravel paths and tranquil country lanes.
The duration varies widely, spanning from an intense 1-day sprint to a leisurely 14+ day excursion, depending on your fitness level, drive, and inclination to soak in the surroundings.
