Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in The Pennines
The Pennines are a range of hills and uplands that stretch across Northern England. They form a north-south backbone, approximately 250 miles from the Peak District in Derbyshire to the Scottish Borders. Often described as the “Backbone of England,” there are no prizes for guessing that the Pennines dominate the upper central landscape from Derbyshire to the Scottish borders. These limestone hills, crags and mountains stretch almost the length of middle England from the Scottish border at the Cheviot Hills through Cumbrian Fells, The Yorkshire Dales, the rural heart of West Yorkshire, and finally ending at The Peak District in Derbyshire.
Visitors will find themselves welcome at hundreds of luxury barn conversions and large and small Pennine holiday cottages in quaint stone villages from Derbyshire to Northumberland. Most of these will have a pub where a typically excellent local ale can be enjoyed. The whole range can be walked via The Pennine Way, one of England’s most famous long-distance footpaths.
