and welcome to Weekend Walkers guide to the South Pennines.

The South Pennines has a definite character all of its own, and begs to be explored as a whole. Accordingly, Weekend Walker is brimming with ideas to help you do just that.

The South Pennines takes is far-reaching and stretches over two counties, including parts of the districts of Bradford, Kirklees, Calderdale and Craven in Yorkshire and Burnley, Oldham, Pendle, Rochdale and Rossendale in Lancashire.

The uncompromising magnificence of the South Pennines makes it great for year round walking, with official footpaths, village trails and guided walks, all designed for your enjoyment in exploring the area’s individual blend of heritage and countryside.

These include: middle distance footpaths mapped out in easy sections by the local authorities: the Bronte Way, Burnley Way, Kirklees Way, Pendle Way, Calderdale Way, Oldham Way, Worth Way, Rochdale Way, Rossendale Way, and Bradford’s new Millennium Way.

As you will appreciate, this involves hundreds of miles of footpaths, and will take some time in completely cataloguing within this site. If what you are seeking isn’t yet listed, you can make enquiries at the appropriate Tourist Information Centres whose details you will find in our links section.
