Britain's oldest and most iconic National Trail, stretching 431km along the "backbone of England." it is a rugged, remote journey through wild peat moorlands, limestone cliffs, and the windswept hills of the North.
Embrace the "Bog-Hopping": You will get wet feet eventually. Don't waste energy trying to keep your boots pristine; just aim for the firmest-looking tufts of grass (the "sphagnum" moss is usually a trap!).
Many of the best experiences are in the remote pubs like the Tan Hill Inn (Great Britain's highest pub). Plan your stops to enjoy the local hospitality—it's the best way to dry out and refuel.
