England, Wales and Northern Ireland AONBs. The Pennines host three, with a large one protecting the North Pennines. Route VII: "...This province is divided into two equal parts by a chain of mountains called the Pennine Alps, which rising on the confines of the Iceni and Carnabii, near the River Trivona [ Trent], extend towards the north in a continued series of fifty miles..." [14] Our self-guided holidays give you what you need to complete the route under your own steam. We book your accommodation in a mix of B&Bs and hotels and we give you our detailed routecards, the local maps, and lots of notes. Our private guided trips are similar but give you the benefit of an Alpine Exploratory leader to show the way.
The major marine bands are present over very wide areas and contain characteristic fossil assemblages, so they have become the primary means of stratigraphical correlation. However, they vary laterally and it is notable that many of them attain only Lingula facies at the basin margins. The language used in pre-Roman and Roman times was Common Brittonic. During the Early Middle Ages, the Cumbric language developed. Little evidence of Cumbric remains, so it is difficult to ascertain whether or not it was distinct from Old Welsh. The extent of the region in which Cumbric was spoken is also unknown. During Norse times the Pennines were settled by Viking Danes in the east and Norwegian Vikings in the west. The Vikings influenced place names, culture and genetics. When England was unified the Pennines were incorporated. The mix of Celtic, Anglo-Saxon and Viking heritage resembled much of the rest of northern England and its culture developed alongside its lowland neighbours in northwest and northeast England. The Pennines were not a distinct political polity, but were divided between neighbouring counties in northeast and northwest England; a major part was in the West Riding of Yorkshire.The Pennines, also known as the Pennine Chain or Pennine Hills, are a range of mountains and hills in England. They separate North West England from Yorkshire and North East England. The Pennines also straddle several city-region economies; Leeds, Greater Manchester, Sheffield, Lancashire, Hull and the North East. This walk centered on Keld in Upper Swaledale is a delight for waterfall lovers. There are four to see. Follow the A692 as it twists, turns and climbs up over a cattle grid onto Waskerley Way with plenty of stunning views and hundreds of fluffy sheep dotted throughout the hills.
The climb to Totridge crosses Forest of Bowland moorland and then the descends to stunning Bleadale. Greenhead Bunkhouse: set in a converted methodist chapel, this place sits where the Pennine Way meets Hadrian’s Wall, making it a hikers’ haven. In these seasons, you’ll get better chance of good weather along with longer days and much better visibility. Summer is a little warmer (maybe even too warm), and the trail will be very busy on the more popular stretches, so spring is usually the top choice. April and May are great times to attempt the Pennine Way. England Coastal Path: this one hasn’t yet been completed, but it’ll be absolutely mammoth when it is. When it’s done, it’ll be the longest official coastal route in the world, measuring in at around 2,795 miles (4,500km). The Pennines contained Bronze Age settlements, and evidence remains of Neolithic settlement including many stone circles and henges, such as Long Meg and Her Daughters. [39]
A lovely half day walk on the outskirts of Sheffield. There is much to enjoy on this very popular route.

Pinhaw Beacon (388m) is the highest point of the day and soon reached across fields from Lothersdale. Cross moors to Thornton-in-Craven and then fields to Gargrave. Here the River Aire, the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, the Settle to Carlisle railway line and the road from Skipton to Kendal all converge. Malham is reached after a stretch of riverside walking, at the foot of the Yorkshire Dales.The grid, where it is used on the figures, is the National Grid taken from Ordnance Survey mapping. Maps and diagrams in this book use topography based on Ordnance Survey maps. Edwards, W.; Trotter, F. M. (1975). The Pennines and Adjacent Areas. Handbooks on the Geology of Great Britain (3rded.). London: HMSO (published 1954). p.1. ISBN 0-11-880720-X. The highest point reached by the standard route is 893m at the summit of Cross Fell. The terrain passed through is a mix of upland moors, mountains and low-lying farmland. Each of the structures consists of Carboniferous limestone overlain with Millstone Grit. The limestone is exposed at the surface in the North Pennines, Yorkshire Dales and the Peak District. In the Dales and the White Peak, limestone exposure has caused the formation of large cave systems and watercourses. In the Dales the caves or potholes are known as "pots" in the Yorkshire dialect. They include some of the largest caves in England at Gaping Gill, more than 350ft (107m) deep and Rowten Pot, 365ft (111m) deep. Titan in the Peak District, the deepest shaft known in Britain, is connected to Peak Cavern in Castleton, Derbyshire, the largest cave entrance in the country. Erosion of the limestone has led to geological formations, such as the limestone pavements at Malham Cove.
