Pennine Bridleway: From Derbyshire through the Yorkshire Dales to Cumbria

Pennine Bridleway is the definitive guide to one of Britain’s great off‑road adventures — a multi‑day journey from Derbyshire through the Yorkshire Dales and into Cumbria, following the rugged spine of the Pennine Hills. Designed for mountain bikers, gravel riders and bikepackers, it turns this National Trail into an accessible, rewarding and beautifully varied ride.

The route is divided into four clear sections, each with detailed directions, route notes and insights into the history, landscape and landmarks you’ll encounter along the way. You’ll also find three additional loops — including the iconic Mary Towneley Loop — which can be tackled on their own or woven into a longer adventure.

Researched, ridden and written by MTB expert Hannah Collingridge, the guide features easy‑to‑use Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 maps, distance and ascent stats, difficulty gradings, bikepacking tips and plenty of local knowledge. Whether you’re planning a weekend escape or a full end‑to‑end ride, the book gives you everything you need to prepare with confidence.

Stunning action photography by Joolze Dymond brings the trail to life, capturing the grit, beauty and big‑sky drama of the Pennines. A comprehensive introduction, detailed appendix and downloadable GPX files round out the guide, making it both practical and inspiring.
