The Pennine Way is the 268-mile (431-km) National Trail stretching along the backbone of Britain. This volume features the southern section of the Way, following Natural England's acorn waymarks from Edale in the Peak District across the South Pennine moors and the Yorkshire Dales to Bowes, a distance of 127 miles (204 km). This is the complete, official guide for the long-distance walker or the weekend stroller. "National Trail Guides" are the official guidebooks to the fifteen National Trails in England and Wales and are published in association with Natural England, the official body charged with developing and maintaining the Trails.
