The Pennine Bridleway and you!

December 20th 2024

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.
If you are planning to tackle the Pennine Bridleway, add Earby Hostel to your list of stop-overs. Its just a short detour from the route. Bright and lovingly decorated throughout, we offer a comfortable and homely night’s sleep for all. We love hosting cyclists and especially like hearing about your travels! We have;
🚴‍♂️ Secure bike storage
🚴‍♂️ Plenty of space to dry wet gear and muddy boots
🚴‍♂️ A bike repair kit
