All Kinds of Walking in the Heart of the Pennines
- The most extensive pathway network anywhere in the UK – nearly 600 miles of pathways, some dating back to the 17th century. More…
- Long distance paths including the Calderdale Way, the Pennine Way, The Todmorden Centenary Way and the trans-Pennine Rochdale Canal. More…
- Loads of easy walks mainly on the flat, easy to access, but which still take you through fabulous countryside. You don’t have to be super fit to walk in the Heart of the Pennines. More…
- Lots of published walks – all day routes, bus walks and short strolls. Some of them will be themed routes such as heritage, nature and landscape (some have audio visual guides, some have information boards on the route) More…
- Several providers of guided walks with experienced leaders who know the area and the features you may not spot on your own. More…
- You will find several geocaching trails in the area. More…
However, you might hear someone singing the Heart of the Pennines anthem!
Thanks to Wally Woodcock and Calder Valley Voices for the song.
