The Mid Pennine Way is a 165-mile walk from Hebden Bridge to Hadrian's Wall along the very heart of Britain's premier National Trail.

The Mid Pennine Way makes a fine long distance walk in its own right, and can be easily completed within a fortnight’s holiday. Or it can be tackled in several stages using the beautiful and iconic Settle to Carlisle railway to access the route at key points.

With full colour large-scale maps of the entire route, this guide will make the practical task of route-finding easy.

And for those who don't like to leave any unfinished business, this guide contains additional detailed mapping to the whole of the 268-mile Pennine Way National Trail.
