Rollup for Wainwright’s masterpiece! This is the quintessential English hill walking and long distance trail experience: 190 odd miles traversing three national parks and a lot of interesting landscapes, old towns and of course public houses in between! It is amazing to think that this most famous of routes, totally eclipsing the Pennine Way in terms of popularity and variety, is still not classified as a National Trail!
